The Megaupload/Universal spat tells you everything you need to know as to why SOPA is a really, really bad idea. If you give the clowns in the entertainment industry this kind of power, it will be abused. Heck, since SOPA lets them shutdown (without any warning, mind you) any site that links to allegedly infringing content, no website is safe. Which I'm sure the MPAA and RIAA are happy wth.

Meanwhile, Eric Raymond has a wake up call for the many good netizens who are shocked, shocked to see this happening. As he says, what did they expect?
