Use a computer, go to jail...

Use a computer, go to jail...

Six states of the US are apparently regulating computers, TV-sets and the like.

Somebody should observe that computers don't violate copyright laws, people do.


"Basically, (the bills) outlaw any device they don't like," McClure said. "Any technology they don't like is banned. Not only is it banned, but it opens you to criminal penalties for its use. If you use a computer, you could be a criminal. (They don't) require that a computer be used for copyright infringement, just that it could potentially be used for copyright infringement."
