Yep, and at the same time about 75000 legal businesses also used it and did use it in a legal way. Millions of people used it in a legal way. True, there may have been illegal things being uploaded. But then, you would not force the local train company not to drive to town with a supermarket where illegal goods where sold. Neither would you do so with the bus company. SOPA and PIPA are going to do yust that. The websites themselves can usually still be accessed, only if you know the exact IP address though.
