I dunno why all you guys complain so much...
The shutdown of MegaUpload was a good thing. SOPA had just been destroyed after an excellent way of activism, and then the feds immediately shut down MegaUpload, showing that THEY DON'T NEED SOPA IN ORDER TO FIGHT PIRACY.
Lets face it, MegaUpload was not on the level. They were helping out people who were pirating. Sites like YouTube are never gonna be shut down, because they take piracy seriously, and take steps to fight it. As long as the US government continues to take down sites that are not legit, AC is going to be fine. You are still going to be able to surf the web. And people who are stealing what they have no right to are going to have to work a little harder to do so.
As someone who probably is going to be a video game developer one day, and actually wants to get paid for the products I create, I like where the web is headed.
