Additional measures go further, including photographing the hacker using his own system’s camera, implanting malware in the hacker’s network, or even physically disabling or destroying the hacker’s own computer or network.

>The hilariously named "Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property" has finally released its report, an 84-page tome that's pretty bonkers. But amidst all that crazy, there's a bit that stands out as particularly insane: a proposal to legalize the use of malware in order to punish people believed to be copying illegally. The report proposes that software would be loaded on computers that would somehow figure out if you were a pirate, and if you were, it would lock your computer up and take all your files hostage until you call the police and confess your crime.

>The almost-respectfully-sounding Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property (read: the entertainment industry) has come up with a new 84 page report (pdf) that has a few curious recommendations for Congress. Among them is the request by the industry that they be allowed to use malware, trojans, and other countermeasures against pirates. That includes the use of so-called "ransomware," which would allow the entertainment industry to lock down your computer and all of your files -- until you purportedly confess to downloading copyrighted materials:

This all amount to OP being a loser whose life is so empty he's spend an absurd amount of time trying to force a meme and you being such a dimwitted easily manipulated moron you fall for it if its repeated enough. The entire root of the so called controversy is than uTorrent removed torrent engine search boxes from their website when the MPAA threatened then. This got twisted and exaggerated into a mentally ill paranoid retardation that they are now somehow in league with the MPAA because they removed search engine boxes. uTorrent is made by the people who inventing torrent. The very nature of torrenting is very transparent. No one needs to go through any trouble to find out who is pirating what. Your IP is announced to everyone if they connect to a torrent swam. Stop embarrassing yourselves with your computer illiterate and report this thread as the spam it is.

As a computer programmer, I love idiots like OP. You can always tell the posers like him. To him "open source" is like a fucking movement or some retarded shit he uses to make himself feel less lonely and like hes part of something. He of course has no use for source code as he couldn't understand it if he tried. He's a poser after all. As such, guys like me take advantage of this large group of posers with the open source bait and switch. Open source is like a imaginery friend protecting him in his mind, his poser feelings of security based on assumptions someone else checked it for him. The bait and switch comes from the easy reality that you provide clean code and an infected binary. Someone did this to the 12 year olds on /b/ some time ago with their retarded loic shit.
