This isn't SOPA, it's just the FBI investigating and sites getting scared after the bringing down of Megaupload. So it depends if the FBI find them guilty of illegal activity. All we can do is wait and see. Sadly anything major like SOPA would have a huge knock on effect of the UK simply because a massive amount of sites are US based. I've noticed Rapidshare and Depositfiles seem to be working, however I can't confirm it yet but I've got a suspicion they've suddenly got much stricter with deleting illegal files off their servers.

That's a good question, I don't actually believe any sites like that are UK based. At least none that I've come across. I could be wrong though!

I would have thought most servers would just move to a country thats not under any kind of law governing internet use.

Well they were hosting copyrighted material which is against the law and they knew about it, porbs one of the reasons they were getting so much traffic, services like skydrive will still be around for filehosting though
