This is a truly stupid statement. What a jackass.
It get's worse.. Just look a little more deeply into it.
Now, personally.. I could care less about file downloaders losing their PC's.. But think about this.
If you build a "self destruct" into the hardware, for the software manufacturers to trip when you download an illegal song.. Just imagine what hackers will be doing with it inside of 15 minutes.
Someone in the chatroom pissed you off? Nuke their computer!
I hate downloading, but this is a ridiculous idea. Hatch is a certified idiot.
He's a disgrace on so many levels it's impossible to find a word that describes it all accurately..
Sorry for the double post.. Call waiting is making an absolute mess of my internet connection..
I always knew there was something I didn't like about Hatch. I think he needs to buy larger shirts. The collers he wears are chocking off circulation to the brain. What is he going to think of next, have copy machines blow up if someone copys a page from copywrited materials.
I'm with Jhoffa.
Illicit downloading and copyright infringement suck because they violate an individual's property.
"Destroying" an individual's computer without due process sucks because it violates an individual's property.
