pff sopa pipa..hah. They don't actually need legislation, http://techland.time.com/2012/01/19/fed ... g-website/ They just wanted a legitimate claim to broader lock-down on what they hardly understand and can't guess at how to control.

Concerning the megaupload arrests, to be fair I have since read that the company was caught red handed knowingly making profits from copyright materials. So they got caught being stupid and help the sopa pipa IP lockdown movement.

Re: SOPA and independant game projects.
It's all about what you can prove, and proving that MegaUpload had full knowledge is going to be very difficult.
Moreover, what the feds have done is illegal. MU was removed from the internet without due process. Not terribly smart.
