There's a god damn internet riot out there. Whitehouse.gov is the next big target.

What's better is that Megaupload wasn't even taken down. They have a backup domain.

Operation Megaupload, Operation DonkeyKick, Operation Payback have launched.

FBI.gov and Justice.gov are down.

Several big supporters of SOPA like UMG are down as well.

Bunker down lads...

Now what important is the Megaupload's case. Which prove that the US gov don't need SOPA and PIPA to abuse the Internet, but chances they will be failed again. And what about torrent sites in the future? Things gonna get more excited... or not :P.

From what I heard, they are just postponing the vote about it. Not withdrawing it.
