"Megaupload was making a ridiculous amount of money with a ridiculously bad service,” Labian said. “We frankly don’t see ourselves in the same space.”
Yep, you just keep thinking that. If they win with Megaupload they will shut down ALL file sharing services.
And MediaFire and RapidShare are also doing exact same thing as MegaUpload did.
But here's what's most likely going to happen. These websites will do things like upload.to did and just exclude US completely.
They'll still continue serving the rest of the world but people in US won't be able to use any of these services. In the end, this bullshit will cost us accessibility to these services and will not prevent anything.

"So, if they're going after these filesharing, copyright-infringement-factilita... sites, and taking them down, using current laws on extradition and governance, why did they need/want SOPA/PIPA ?"
The way I understand it...charges against Megaupload is a complicated criminal case that has been over a year in the making. SOPA would give them the power to simply block your access to these sites without having to prosecute a case against them.
SOPA would also allow them to block access to any site that links to download sites. Sites like rlslog.net and sceper.eu that make it easy to browse through the latest stuff.

- Because they wouldn't even need to arrest anyone to take the sites down, Hollywood would just have to make 1 phonecallanimatedgif
