PRETTY FUNNY THAT AFTER STATING THAT THE RECORDING INDUSTRY (those folks who've given him a lot of $$$) should have the authority to "destroy" the computers of anyone with copyright-infringing materials in their files, Sen. Orrin Hatch got caught with unlicensed code on his official senatorial Web site.

So who gets to take a hatchet to Hatch's computer? And while we're at it, should the entire U.S. Senate be brought up on RICO charges for allowing illegal activity to be conducted on their premises? Is there any reason the self-righteous senator from Utah shouldn't be held to the same standard he holds us mere peasants to?
