Just after the SOPA/PIPA Internet-wide protest on Jan. 18th, the FBI successfully shut down Megaupload and its sister sites, and arrested the founder and others.
Wikipedia claimed that the site was blocked a few years ago by countries like India, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia for infringement, promoting Western ideals, and other reasons.
If you try going to Megaupload.com it will lead you to a blank page.
The people arrested were charged with breach of copyright, money laundering and other charges.
Perhaps this is the beginning of the Internet fight against SOPA/PIPA?
