Kim is never going to get a day in court and he will never get his stuff back and he will never be in the file hosting business again. In a year, neither will anybody else. (Some have just shut down already.) This case will still be going back and forth between attorneys in 2020, assuming Kim can stand some of house arrest in the U.S. that long instead of just taking a 3 to 5-year deal in minimum security now.
And the government will be selectively taking down small-fry websites and users all over the place using those tactics just as if SOPA had passed.

Doubt it. The 4chan kiddies will insure that will not happen even if it means hacking and destroying all supporters of SOPA. Every time Kim gets mentioned in the press the 4chan kids will DDos everything they can. The death knell for the music industry is the fact that during the ringing in of every month, artists are logging on to soundcloud and bandcamp in progressively larger numbers.
The music industry can’t play games with guys like Kim anymore, especially because torrents are doing the same thing faster.
