So we won right?

Wrong!, Soon after the SOPA and PIPA bills were denied and voted against, the feds just happen to shut down, without any prior notice, one of the most biggest file-sharing websites on the internet, Megaupload; Generating about 4% of the total bandwidth traffic on the entire internet, Megaupload was a giant.
RIP MegaUpload. Original photo.
But the internet wont go down without a fight, The "Group"  called "Anonymous" launched an attack "within minutes of the site being shut down, and DOJ releasing its statement, Anonymous sprang into action and started taking down a ton of sites -- including websites for the DOJ, the US Copyright Office, Universal Music, the RIAA, the MPAA and a bunch of other sites.


Department of Justice (Justice.gov)
Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA.org)
Universal Music (UniversalMusic.com)
Belgian Anti-Piracy Federation (Anti-piracy.be/nl/)

Obviously the government has done something which they have not thought through enough, they have disturbed a beehive and now its out to sting them, and sting them they have. From the looks of it i could guess that things could get only worse, with more and more websites removing their content and more websites being taken down, these people will not sit still and see it all be taken away from them, from us. They turmoil will continue and like a double edge sword they will keep hurting each other, by the time they are down to bones there would be nothing for us to hold on to, the internet as we know it will be long gone. So r u mad?
