The day after SOPA was rejected in the US congress, the US government
took down megaupload.com. Coincidence?

  The prevailing theory is that they were planning on taking it down for
some time (after all, the bureucracy and paperwork involved in this kind
of operation is not something that's done in one day) and were only
waiting for SOPA to pass in order to shut down the site, so that they
would have a justification. It did not pass, so no justification. However,
rather than let all the hard work go to waste, they took the website down
anyways.
