Downloading a Timebomb
Stolen from Drudge:
Orrin Hatch, the man who you saw live on C-SPAN firing questions at Lars Ulrich during the waste of taxpayer dollars Senate Hearing a few years ago is advocating "..developing new technology to remotely destroy the computers of people who illegally download music from the Internet.".
Since when has it become OK for what is essentially vigilante justice? Would Orrin mind if the big networks fried your entire entertainment system just because you might have an illegal cable box, or have Ford impound your car because you installed an illegal chip mod on your car?
It pisses me off to watch these guys who have no frigging clue how to use a computer trying to make legislation that will only add to the chaos that is the internet. Oops, sorry that you daughter downloaded the latest Linkin Park song, we had to fry your network.
OK, I'm done ranting for now. :-P
