Orrin Hatch: Software Pirate?

Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) suggested Tuesday that people who download copyright materials from the Internet should have their computers automatically destroyed.

But Hatch himself is using unlicensed software on his official website, which presumably would qualify his computer to be smoked by the system he proposes.

The senator's site makes extensive use of a j-a-va-s-c-ri-pt menu system developed by Milonic Solutions, a software company based in the United Kingdom. The copyright-protected code has not been licensed for use on Hatch's website.

"It's an unlicensed copy," said Andy Woolley, who runs Milonic. "It's very unfortunate for him because of those comments he made."

Hypocrisy of the highest order.

Please, that man probably had nothing to do with the creation of his site.

Probably barely uses e-mail.

Sure, and Napster was created to trade legal music.

Either way, this is a perfect example of why it would be CHAOS if every computer with pirated software was "destroyed"

No doubt MPAA & RIAA paid him fat though...

The real question is whether you think this will make him more or less likely to pursue his ebomb?

Bullshit, not a valid excuse. I bet he'd have plenty to say if his constituents couldn't reach his site because his server was a smoking hunk of plastic. Or hosted by LikeWhoa.

I'm sorry you're wrong. He is the man in charge. If his people suck, it's his responsibility!
