That's one for the bookmark file!! Thanks, jenk!
From the June 19th Wired article:
Hatch on Tuesday surprised a Senate hearing on copyright issues with the suggestion that technology should be developed to remotely destroy the computers of people who illegally download music from the Net.
Hatch said damaging someone's computer "may be the only way you can teach somebody about copyrights," the Associated Press reported. He then suggested the technology would twice warn a computer user about illegal online behavior, "then destroy their computer."
So he protects the idea of copyrights, but not national security or privacy? As long as someone's making a buck, he supports destroying computers? Interesting...

Orrin is one of those who can preach values but can't back them up.

| 9. Orrin Hatch is EVIL EVIL EVIL |

Unfortunately, the same thing (in regards to "intellectual property") can be said about Fritz Hollings. Google for CBDTPA.
But Hatch wins on hypocrisy. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
