Tentacruel Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 So yeah, they want Congress to make it legal for them to deploy viruses in our computers so they can nuke them if their software thinks it catches us pirating something. One of the proposed strategies is that ransomware locks up your computer until you turn yourself in to the police. http://boingboing.net/2013/05/26/us-entertainment-industry-to-c.html I have no words for this.

The Amazing Avian Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I genuinely hope people aren't stupid enough to actually let this pass. There are three things I know to be infinite, Time, the amount of Zubats in a cave, and human stupidity. I find #3 to be pretty damn common within the government.

Βyakuya Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Congress, wat r u doing? STAHP I'd might consider the American Congress retarded if it actually passes through. If this is supposed to be a mean of punishment to stop "suspected piracy" well there goes the demand for Kaspersky or Norton. It's pretty much the Internet version of the Red Scare...
