I swear, if this keeps up, everyone is just going to outsource their servers to other countries, like say, Brazil, Canada, India. Anywhere the American government doesn't have legislation.

Welcome to the free america, where money buys you anything, including laws banning free speech.
The RIAA and hollywood have way too much power.

The same has happened to german movie streaming website called kino.to
The owner was arrested and the website shut down
It was back under a week later with a new name
Im pretty sure that megaupload will be back sooner or later

I don't care about mega upload. They did illegal stuff, and they didn't even care. On the other hand, sopa could shut a website down for simply showing a let's play of a game, or a movie review, or they could shut down a video just because a certain song was playing in the background.
