This shit is like a internet nuke, its gonna kill it! SOPA already took down megaupload cant go on it anymore. People need fb and other sites just to see their relatives & friends that are over seas. Trolls cant troll anyone anymore. Fight against SOPA & PIPA!

SOPA had nothing to do with it (it wasn't approved yet afaik).
It just happens that MegaUpload as sued another company for trying to stop their "Mega Song", and then as companies have power over the government and not the other way around (as SOPA is trying to make it actually legal), 5 hours later FBI came out of nowhere to shut them down.
Coincidence? I think not.

As things are now, if the MegaUpload owners are smart enough and have good lawyers, they will win the case, restore the service and receive a lots of money from the US government and the other company they are suing for the time they were down and the false accusations, since MegaUpload ALWAYS removed content that was reported as pirated, so they weren't breaking any laws nor promoting piracy at all.

For example, I had a few UT files there, now I have to "rehost" them elsewhere.

Sooooo THAT'S WHY I CAN'T USE MEGAUPLOAD!Yayaya I know why now! :D

But yeah, no surprise here, when you get power hungry people you get power grabs, 'nuff said.

The way this is going, the people in US of America are sleeping (Semi) free, but we will wake up in bondage. Dear God save this country, cause I know men won't.

Time to grow up

And as already said, this has nothing to do with SOPA. In fact, it just has been postponed.

@flakcannonknight: Online streaming. There are many episodes online through streaming (flash video, like youtube), the quality is not as good, but it's viewable.
Plus, whoever uploaded them to mega, surely uploaded to other mirrors around and if not, will start to do so, so don't worry.
