Thanks for the chuckle.
I personally don't think the "aware" people in the entertainment industry are stupid enough to try and destroy home users' computers - they would basically be declaring a war, and they would lose - the hacker-types would take the gloves off, and you would see attacks against the record and film companies the likes of which we have not seen. You would be unifying the hacker-types as well.
Putting that aside, anybody who thinks that the government supports this but would never use this type of technology against its citizens is an idiot pure and simple, or a liberal, which I guess would make them an idiot as well.
Hatch scares the hell out of me sometimes.
