I'm pretty sure more sharing and storage sites will follow megaupload's demise... Dropbox, xdrive and possibly wikipedia's own file hosting service may come under scrutiny.
IMO, the media and marketing are a threat to the stability of the web. I don't condone piracy in the slightest, but when you have people like Sony handing the tools to us on a plate, and then leading the charge to tar everyone with the same brush while spending so little time, effort and cash on actually making their own services secure against ID theft and waving the "It's at your own risk" flag as a get out, it certainly makes one wonder about the idea for the media industry to go solely digital in the first place.
I also remember not so long ago, not much more than 10 years ago, that the marketing and media moguls were demanding mobile phone manufacturers build devices with the Bluetooth permanently enabled so that when you walked past shops they could beam adverts and services straight to your handset. Nokia led the charge to beat that idea down, if I'm not mistaken.
