According to U.S. Senate resident genius Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), the entertainment industry should find a way to destroy the computers of people who illegally download music.
Of course, first Congress would have to exempt the music industry from penalties — you know, in case they destroyed someone’s computer by mistake. But according to CNN…
[Hatch] endorsed technology that would twice warn a computer user about illegal online behavior, “then destroy their computer.”
Brilliant.
