Clay Shirky on Why SOPA is a Bad Idea

I spotted this fantastic TED talk on Boing Boing.  Mr. Shirky explains the background of SOPA and PIPA and explains - in easy to understand language - what the bills are and why they are bad.  I've embedded it, but if you're on Google Reader (and probably other readers) you won't see the video, so here is the link to it on TED's website.
