...but doesn't that argue in favour of "you can never stop it"?

It'll take a much shorter amount of time for a copycat site to crop up, and if it takes a years worth of legal proceedings to take down a website that didn't make any great effort to be evasive, what chance is there of ever stopping it?

True but what about people who want to host a file legally? They shouldn't have to suffer because other members upload copyrighted material.
exactly. how many legal music files and mixes disappeared today? what will disappear tomorrow?
On one of the news articles I seen that it said Megaupload was the 13th most visited site of 2011. That's is a lot of internet gone and this SOPA shit hasn't even passed. The government just got what they wanted + bonus money from all this shenanigans. It's nuts how the internet is being decided by pretty much like a couple hundred old fucks that can barely operate this shit.

FUCK.

Though I'm sure RIAA & co aren't complaining, these arrests have little to do with piracy as a whole. I wouldn't be too concerned yet.

I would've assumed that the arrests in multiple countries probably got approved more on the grounds of the money laundering and other nefarious charges bits, than just the filesharing bit.
