so true... believe it or not, but the republican government is moving closer and closer to enacting this ridiculous legislation that will basically give them access to everyone's computer at all times (in some form or another) as a matter of 'national security'. granted, this would be extremely hard to enforce, and probably wont ever happen, but it scares the shit out of me that i live in a country where that kind of absolute garbage even makes it to the floor in congress !!!
that said, i think the best part of this story is that the kid was 15 when he wrote the program. 15 !!! this kid must be a super computer kid to bust open the efforts of an entire industry to safeguard their 'material'. maybe if he gets locked up he'll at least get a lucrative job when he gets out...
