Download copyright music = Fry your pc

"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.
The surprise statement by Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, that he favors developing technology to remotely destroy computers used for illegal downloads represents a dramatic escalation in the increasingly contentious rhetoric over pirated music.
I'm interested," Hatch interrupted. He said damaging someone's computer "may be the only way you can teach somebody about copyrights.
If we can find some way to do this without destroying their machines, we'd be interested in hearing about that," Hatch said. "If that's the only way, then I'm all for destroying their machines. If you have a few hundred thousand of those, I think people would realize" the seriousness of their actions"

I will say though, the problem with the music industry is not the RIAA but the million and one sellout copycats that inhabit it these days.
They're created and crush out individual unique bands by force of the record industry who wants to make another buck.
The MTV generation latching onto the utter CRAP and the unorigional 'artists' whining because they need another freaking p1mp3d out Ford Excursion to add to their fleet of vehicles.
Or maybe I just don't be(lie)ve.
