They apparently didn't need SOPA/PIPA to do it...so why are SOPA/PIPA good ideas again?

If you haven't heard about it, just google it. Lots of juicy details, and the founder is apparently a pretty unsavory character to begin with...and I guess he tried to hole himself up when the lawmen came for him.

Although here is a good counter-argument for sites like megaupload
