Well, http://109.236.83.66/ was just posted on Reddit, I'm not really sure if it's legit because I don't use MU much.
It seems feasible though, isn't SOPA using DNS blocking?  Going directly the IP address of the server bypasses the DNS.

Yes, there are already work arounds for SOPA that exist as plugins for your browser by using alternative domain name servers.

SOPA doesn't apply to us.

It's a shame MU got taken down. It always had better speeds for me then RS and was usually my go to site until I found MF

[kensan]

Have you guys been following Anonymous? Following the takedown, they ddos'd all the major record label companies as well as fbi.gov.

I'm gonna miss MU - but if they take down zippyshare I'm going to cry - I get so much high-bitrate music from there!

if they take down zippy share im joining anonymous

How do you even join haha

[dc302]

Now I have to subscribe to other shitty sites for japanese drama

[Reckoner]

Doesn't bother me personally, I stopped using the Megas a while ago. I just hope there isn't more to come.

[History_buff]

Most of the videos (tv wise) on videozer and videobb have now been taken down too, supposedly by the user or due to copyright infringement :/

ZOMGG RAGE. Relied on Megavideo so much and plus as someone posted earlier some VideoBB vids have also been taken down. These Novamov and OV File videos take ages to buffer :/

Filesonic Kills File-Sharing Service After MegaUpload Arrests

To users of systems like BitTorrent, file-sharing means just that – the sharing of files with others. But this weekend users of Filesonic, one of the Internet’s leading cyberlocker services, sharing files is currently a thing of the past.

According to a shock announcement by the site, all file-sharing functionality has now been disabled, leaving current users only with access to files that they have personally uploaded. Many hundreds of thousands (probably millions) of links all around the web have now been rendered useless, at least temporarily.

But the bad news for the site’s users doesn’t end there. In the last few hours, before file-sharing was disabled, Filesonic also ended its rewards program, meaning that uploaders to the site no longer earn money when people download their files. A moot point perhaps, since no-one will be downloading files anyway.

However, there is the matter of what will happen to the reward money that was sitting in uploader’s accounts before the rewards program was discontinued. Will it be paid out, or will it simply disappear? Many users fear the latter.

This combination of news all adds up to a pretty big deal. Filesonic isn’t just some also-ran in the world of cyberlockers. The site is among the top 10 file-sharing sites on the Internet, with a quarter billion page views a month.

While there has been no official explanation from the site as to why the above actions were taken, all eyes are turned towards events of the last week – the closure of Megaupload and the arrest of its founder and management team.

Like Megaupload, Filesonic appears to based in Hong Kong and it’s clear that the authorities there already worked with the US government to shut down Kim Dotcom’s operations and seize his assets there. Filesonic is also believed to have some US-based servers.

In December, Filesonic announced it had partnered with Vobile, a provider of content identification services. All uploads to the service were said to be being checked for copyright infringement before users were able to share them publicly, although it is unclear if this system was ever implemented by the site.

The events of the last week have turned the cyberlocker world upside down and there is quite literally panic among users and site operators. Stay tuned for our detailed report tomorrow – the Megaupload takedown appears to be a game-changer.

Those were like the two best sharing sites and now they're gone.  :/

Torrents will still work right? I wonder what they will do about that...
