Yay for thes hare interwebs! But yeah, its not over, just phase one. SOPA - O, Interwebs - 1.
The "internet hate machine" Anonymous has already launched a number of DDOS attacks against Federal websites in response to the Megaupload arrests. One thing I wonder though, is that if they US Government can already do this sort of thing with RICO laws, why did they press the need for SOPA so much?
Regarding the Hong Kong based Megaupload Ltd, the four founders were arrested in New Zealand in a joint operation with US and NZ authorities, and the US Government in seeking extradition. The sole founder Kim "Mr DotCom" Schmidt is a German national.
