Destroy Computers of Illegal Downloaders


Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said Tuesday he favors developing new technology to remotely destroy the computers of people who illegally download music from the Internet. Okay, so it's a bit extreme (name one thing Republicans do that isn't extreme). But, really, if people would just stop doing that illegal sh*t we wouldn't have to go through this. Look, if you can afford a computer, I'm sure you can afford to buy an occasional $12 CD and not rip off the recording artist and the recording/distribution companies. It's immoral and unethical; didn't your mother teach you anything?
