Don't Legalize Hacking by Record Companies

Source: OS Opinion

There is actually a bill in Congress, introduced by a California Democrat, that would permit recording companies and other copyright holders to hack into networks and people's computers. Once in, corporate hackers would destroy MP3 files and damage systems to thwart users seeking to download free music. This bill, if passed into law, would also protect companies that hack in this manner from lawsuits, provided they limit their damage to somewhere around US$200,000.

Personally speaking, I don't have any MP3s on my systems, but if this bill becomes law, I may have to bait me a few systems just to flush out some of these big-city record company revenuers.
