Re:Megaupload down, FBI Charges Seven With Online Piracy by scintill76 on Thursday January 19, 2012 @05:03PM (#3487022)
I think this _case_ can be seen as an anti-SOPA posterchild, because it shows that existing laws can already be used to successfully prosecute piracy.

There are some other comments about precedents that this may be setting (i.e., _stretching_ existing law). I'm curious to see how this plays out -- will SOPA-like provisions be "read into" existing laws by the courts?
