Republican Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah has come out in support of terrorism. During a hearing on copyright abuses, the subject matter naturally turned to the idea of hacking into the computers of people who have illegally downloaded music. The purpose of the hacking would be to destroy the person's computer.
"No one is interested in destroying anyone's computer," replied Randy Saaf of MediaDefender Inc., a secretive Los Angeles company that builds technology to disrupt music downloads. One technique deliberately downloads pirated material very slowly so other users can't.
"I'm interested," Hatch interrupted. He said damaging someone's computer "may be the only way you can teach somebody about copyrights."
The Senator acknowledges that a special act would need to be passed to enable Congress to break the anti-hacking laws. He supports a program that would warn users twice, then "destroy their computers".
The problem with all of this is that this makes him a supporter of an act that is defined by Congress itself as terrorism. And we all know that anyone who is a supporter of terrorism is a terrorist by association, as seen by the actions of the US government.
It's a simple a=b b=c thus a=c correlation.
Hacking is defined as terrorism.
Anyone knowing about an act of terrorism, supporting an act of terrorism, or participating in an act of terrorism is a terrorist (and of course unpatriotic).
Orrin Hatch supports and encourages the hacking of people's computers.
Thus, Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah is a terrorist.
Most people knew that the things Congress was enacting shortly after the September 11th attacks would eventually come back to bite them in the ass. No one really suspected it would be like this, but here it is, come back to bite. You can't go around labeling everyone who does something you don't like as a terrorist, because eventually, you'll end up labelled as a terrorist.
So go ahead, hack into computers. But you better remember to sort out what country people are from first. And you can't always tell what country a person is from by their IP (think AOL). Hack into a Dutch person's computer, and you will have a significant problem. That's considered "illegal entry" here, the same as breaking into a house. That could get you up to 4 years in prison.
Does this guy realize how many government and school computers are used to trade music files? This guy could bring half the country down in one fell swoop, lol.
Now that would be funny to see.
