I'm not downloading music, but that doesn't mean that my computer is safe from this proposed act of government sanctioned vandalism. I do rip music from purchased CDs to make mixes. If the vandals decide my legal rips are illegal downloads and destroy my computer, there will be hell to pay. I have the technical skill to do the forensic analyis to expose how the computer was damaged. I wouldn't hesitate starting a crusade to crucify the RIAA for any and all damage caused by their vandalism.
BTW, I have a room full of computers with various operating systems. The loss of one of them would only provide the catalyst and evidence to go after the vandals.
