This is essentially why I think SOPA and PIPA won't work even if they do pass. No matter what the government does, you can't beat the hackers. They own the internet.

The government also doesn't really seem to care whether they have the proper authority to do what they do anyway.  Where was megaupload's right to due process during all of this?
