Im sick of people going on about SOPA and PIPA. Take the recent megaupload incident, the American government wanted the site down, the site is now down. No new law needed, simples.

Megaupload is one website ( angry hackers responded ). SOPA and PIPA means mass takedown. ( imagine the state of angry hackers all over the world )

Morever Kim Dotcom has done more than just Megaupload to take him down. American government probably was waiting for a perfect reason to take him down.
