The world, not just America because they know if we pass SOPA/PIPA, we will force our laws to other countries or threaten them by not trading with him. The US is already trying with Spain.

Russia will not be pushovers and they will also not like it if the USA invades their country to lock away a citizen of theirs too.

How pathetic is that.... our government demonizes countries like China for strictly regulating what's available on the internet and then tries some crap like this.

Well it's official I guess... the people with power in America are paranoid nut bags and they're trying to position themselves to always be in power.  I believe one of the Founding Fathers once said something along the lines of our country will face falling apart when the government no longer has its citizens interests at heart.  Catering to big business is what got our country to the piss poor state it's currently in.  Guess those guys knew what they were talking about way back then.

America is controlled by big business. (Banks, Wall Street, Entertainment industries, etc)

Get this, the SOPA sponser has another internet bill that records us 24/7.

Filesonic just killed its file sharing.

wupload and fileserve have killed their revenue sharing programs with their users, but services are still up.

They seemed to have worked.

MegaUpload - Closed.
Rapidshare - status unknown
FileServe - Closing does not sell premium. File sharing already disabled.
FileJungle - Deleting files. Locked in the U.S..
UploadStation - Locked in the U.S..
FileSonic - the news is arbitrary (under FBI investigation). No longer allows sharing files.
VideoBB - Closed! would disappear soon.
Uploaded - Banned U.S. and the FBI went after the owners who are gone.
FilePost - Deleting all material (will leave executables, pdfs, txts)
Videoz - closed and locked in the countries affiliated with the USA.
4shared - Deleting files with copyright and waits in line at the FBI.
MediaFire - Called to testify in the next 90 days

seems like the days of filesharing is dead. everyone is going to go back to torrenting.

More filesharing will just pop up to take their place.

we will see. I think a lot of them will be discouraged form continuing, but it looks like the ones that do not have affiliate programs will stay up, since that seems to be the major reason mega went down. Hopefully mega will come back after the trial.
