SOPA and A Variation on “Don Henley Must Die”

I’ve mentioned Mojo Nixon’s song Don Henley Must Die previously in these pages (lyrics here).

Paul Graham offers a variation on the theme of Don Henley Must Die, titled by Business Insider as Hollywood Must Die, which advocates for the death of Hollywood because of its support of SOPA.

Hollywood appears to have peaked. If it were an ordinary industry (film cameras, say, or typewriters), it could look forward to a couple decades of peaceful decline. But this is not an ordinary industry. The people who run it are so mean and so politically connected that they could do a lot of damage to civil liberties and the world economy on the way down. It would therefore be a good thing if competitors hastened their demise.

I would add that Hollywood should die because the majority of movies that come out of Hollywood are crap.
