RIP Megaupload, you were wrongly ripped apart :(
Please excuse the horrible title.
We need a freedom of speech equivalent for the web, because if SOPA and cases like Megaupload being taken down get through, then the web will be quite simply a dictatorship. And dark too.
Who will police what?
Surely this will only provoke aggressive acts by those angry with the decisions the “law” make, and this will simply lead to war, whether it will be physical, or cyber warfare (I predict the latter). How about the internet takes a lesson from the real world and sees how these boundaries affect the general populace so greatly, and leads to so much conflict over territories and content.
Here’s the BBC article about the horrible death of a great online service.

On another note, this makes cloud storage ridiculously moot. If your service can be taken down any day without warning, people will have to start backing up data to multiple cloud services, which kind of defeats the point. Seriously legislation, WTF.
