Another good collaboration from our forum members, poertner posted earlier about this CNN article, US senator, Orrin Hatch stated that they are trying to pass a law that will allow people to destroy someone's computer if they download copyrighted material off the web.
"Illegally download copyright music from the Internet once, or even twice, and you get a warning. Do it a third time, and your computer gets destroyed."
I dare to say I don't see this happening anytime soon, as ridiculous as it sounds however it'd be no good to have the government all in RIAA's side.
