If the piracy bill shuts down sites like e621 or Rule34, then yes, it will
affect how you download from a site that is no longer there. Megaupload
(where many furry images were archived) has already been shut down by the US
government in it's fight against movie and music piracy. Online image
galleries may become like the speakeasy of Prohibition-era America, moving from
location to location at a moment's notice, and requiring a special
"password" to get inside that you can only get from someone who is already a
member and will vouch for you. Skunkworks will not be affected, as Jim draws
his own characters, not characters owned by big corporations.
