Supposedly megaupload was brought back but it turns out its a fake, firefox and chrome said it was a phishing site so I figured the registration system just stole your credit info or something but no, its something either more or less evil depending on whether you're alignment is chaotic good or lawful good. Having the site window open actually activates a program called Low Orbit Ion Cannon that DDoSs various government sites. The registration button just sends you back to the front page so its not for phishing as far as I can tell.

Conspiracy Theory #9: Democrats will allow PIPA to fester in the house until the election period begins. At which point they will shut it down, gaining them more favour amongst voters.
Taking bets: Something similar to SOPA/PIPA will pass after the election, democrat or republican.
