Orrin Hatch is Insane!!!

[wingnut2600]

One crazy Senator wants to blow up your computer!

As if I need to prove that this man is crazy, I will just post this link: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...nloading_music

Orrin Hatch wants to destroy p2p users computers. But what do you expect from the craziest man in the Senate? It is sad that we have a wingnut like Orrin Hatch as the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Perhaps the problem is that he is a musician himself and feels his brethren's pain: "The senator, a composer who earned $18,000 last year in song writing royalties, acknowledged Congress would have to enact an exemption for copyright owners from liability for damaging computers. He endorsed technology that would twice warn a computer user about illegal online behavior, 'then destroy their computer.'"

That is completely insane. What about file-sharers in other countries? What the Fuck? This is just plain insanity. I cannot even seriously contemplate anything such as this. I can't believe that the people of Utah continually re-elect this mad-man (or perhaps I can).

Perhaps we should all find and share Orrin Hatch's composed music as mp3s (as if you could find any, and, if you could, no one would download it from you).

Experience the Madness!

Here is a music link: http://www.hatchmusic.com/

Here is his Senate page: http://www.senate.gov/~hatch/

Here is his stand on issues (other than merely a computer destroyer): http://www.issues2000.org/Senate/Orrin_Hatch.htm

I am not posting anything that is anti-Orrin Hatch; his record speaks volumes about his antiquated and atavistic views on the world. If you want to know more, just put something into Google.com with the words "Orrin Hatch"and "criticism" or "racism" or "homophobia" or "pro-life" or "fool" or "evil" and I am sure that you will find ample evidence of my original proposition, that Orrin Hatch is one sick, ass mother fucker.

(plus, the frog hates him)

I say let the war begin.

Because we can do far more damage, Politically, Monetarily, and Technologically, then they could ever dare dream.

*edit* Wingnut, BTW there is nothing wrong about being pro-life.

I can't believe that the people of Utah continually re-elect this mad-man (or perhaps I can).

I certainly can, anywhere that polygamy is allowed is one F@#ked up place. We need to continue to support representatives on both sides that fight for consumers' rights and don't bow to corporate greed.

Fear the Latter-Day-Saint Musician and Senator Orrin Hatch (doesn't he look like a prick?)

Hey wingnut, this topic has another thread as well so don't go anywhere without reading my opinion. :fire

:devil HATCH :devil

Senator Hatch is an evil old Son OF a Bitch. He wants to take away all of our rights. He is in the palm of the RIAA. Old freaking Bastard. He sound retire from the senate as far as I am concerned.Destroying people's computers I think would be illegal. Like Someone else said LET THE WAR BEGIN

[Rickio]

I say we download his songs for free and enjoy them all for free and cheat him of his royalties.

and share them with people on the street.

[MoonMan]

Senators seriously need some term limits. These crazy redneck good ol' boys keep getting re-elected on name recognition.

That wet dream for the RIAA and Mr. Hatch is virtually not possible.

It's easy to do this kind of thing if you release bombs in software so I would stay away from downoading software (which I do anyway). But for media files, non-executeables, there is a different story.

First of all, if it were possible to erase someone elses hard drive that easily, no one would be safe even now from evil hackers. It's pretty difficult to make a non-executeable execute code. You can only do it by exploiting a flaw in the media player and those things would be closed REALLY fast if this kind of thing were discovered.

Second, the likelihood of mistargetting is huge. You could not get away with wiping out someone's computer by mistake without paying some big damages and possibly coming under criminal violations.

Thirdly, this kind of vigilante activity can backfire and the RIAAs agents themselves could be targets for getting their computers wiped out.

The only time I would be afraid is if I were using some open source p2p program. Since the source code is available, it is MUCH easier to locate users on this sort of network AND to discover bugs (buffer overflows mainly) that can be exploited remotely that could be used to wipe you out.

If, by some extremly remote possibility, this horse's ass could pull this off the results would make the $44 million price-fixing lawsuit look like a walk in the park!! :finger 'em!!!
