Megaupload being shut down now is terrible timing... I'm actually a little worried about what'll happen next. Tensions are currently high over the widespread attention that SOPA just got, so people are already angry. This may be like throwing a match into a tinderbox. I just hope nobody does something incredibly stupid, which may make US congress or anyone else with power immediately pass more bills to break the internet.
On the other hand it may go the opposite direction and this may be beneficial to the cause of a free internet. We can only hope, though.
