I'm sure a lot of you have heard about Utah Senator Warren Hatch's comments about destroying people's computers.
If you haven't you can read about them here (http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/internet/06/18/download.music.ap/index.html) and here (http://www.the-inquirer.com/?article=10062).
WASHINGTON (AP) -- 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.
That's the suggestion made by the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee at a Tuesday hearing on copyright abuse, reflecting a growing frustration in Congress over failure of the technology and entertainment industries to protect copyrights in a digital age.
As computer enthusiasts I'm sure a lot of people here have strong feelings about this.
If you would like to let Senator Hatch know how you feel here's a link (http://www.senate.gov/~hatch/) to his web site.
I would like to urge all of my fellow members to contact Sen. Hatch and let him know how you feel.
