The legislation to obstruct various websites in the U.S. is still under consideration in the U.S. Congress and is not yet "law" in the U.S. There are many groups arguing both for and against the legislation. It is still not "law" at this time.

EDIT" Oops. Looks like I was thinking of something else. This was actually a move by the FBI and various countries to shut down Megaupload, which was a "for profit" operation distributing copyrighted materials. You can find an article about the event here:

I saw that Anonymous group has targeted several sites today that links the attack to the Megaupload too.

Some German pages are reporting the arrest of the founder Kim Schmitz at his home in Auckland, New Zealand.

Example is:

It's worth noting, Fileserve and Filesonic have taken preventive action and disabled all sharing features. You can now only download files you have uploaded with your own account.

MediaFire has stated however that they have no plans to revoke features.
