Dem compooters blow up reel good!

Senator Orrin Hatch has advocated "damaging" the PCs of users who illegally trade MP3s online, saying that "may be the only way you can teach them about copyrights." Well, there’s really no way you can physically damage a computer from across the wire, but you can delete and/or corrupt their files. One good question is: Whatever happened to due process, to being innocent until proven guilty?

My response is, if they can do that, then can we likewise damage the PCs of politicians who routinely violate the Constitution they swore an oath to uphold and defend? After all, that may be the only way you can teach politicians about the Constitution. Hey, what’s good for the goose…
