Network administrators rejoice. Centralized download servers are a bane for the internet.

Ugh, do you know how many advertisers upload their finished artwork (PDFs) to us for our magazine using MU? Enough that I expect some worried emails from clueless clients. I guess I have to try and get those problem children to use our FTP again, even though they refuse ("but other advertisers might see our ad!").

No kidding. Megaupload and filestube etc, are the targets of SOPA.
They're going to get off, though.

Does this not lend credence towards SOPA/PIPA being completely unnecessary to accomplish even their proponents stated goals?
