It seems Sen. Orrin Hatch, who has been railing against file traders and just this week stated their computers should be trashed, is using unlicensed software on his website. Oh the irony! [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

Orrin Hatch: Software Pirate? (Politics Thursday)

Sen. Orrin Hatch caused a stir by suggesting copyright holders should
have the right to remotely destroy computers of suspected pirates. It
turns out the senator is using unlicensed software on his website. By
Leander Kahney.

corperate software pirates? here is us thinking its illegal to break copywrites, when clearly many companys are. Well at least that will have put paid to his 'trash systems' idea. no-one in their right mind would have done it anyway, and when the bloke is a proven hippocrite + liar there is zero chance.

i cant help thinking theres a morale here somewhere...
...'wear clean underwear'. erm no...
...'give and take'. still no...
...'the law is flexible to those in power'. surely not...
...'government is filled with lying hypocrites who use music piracy as a scapegoat for all the worlds ills'. RIGHT!
