Orrin Hatch the software pirate.

Per a post on Fark, and I just confirmed it:

I just tried Sen. Hatch's site a few minutes ago and it was down. It's now up again and there is no mention of Milonic Solutions in the source code.

Did they totally rewrite the menus or just removed the pesky copyright information?
 
Seems like a senator would find something unconstitutional about his comments... I mean blowing up computers? Come on.
 
Well of course this demonstrates the childish and dullard mindset of the pro-piracy crowd.

I highly doubt Senator Orin Hatch has the time or inclination to code his own web page. I also suspect he had no involvement in development of his web pages or the selection of code, which would be the responsibility and scope of the web page authors. Indeed, it is highly doubtful that anyone from Hatch's staff did the work, and it is more likely this is provided to all Senators by the same Congressional Services people.

There is no such thing as 'accidental' piracy, and if there were, it wouldn't be Orin Hatch who would be culpable for this copyright violation. But the pro-piracy kiddies know all of that, they're just trying to be 'smart' and failing quite miserably.

Sucks getting caught lying doesn't it.
 
haha, nice. I was trying to find this according to what CNN was saying.

Seriously, I really HOPE he tries to go through with his "destruction of computers" plan. That would be exciting. It would be a Cyber War!!!!

who cares if he codes the website or not. If he is calling for DESTROYING someone's computer he better make sure he follows all copyright law to the letter of the law or it makes him a hippocrate
 
This is great. I'm hopeful that someone following this story will deface the site, as a violation like this mandates the destruction of Hatch's web server.
 
hahahah

they changed it so nowq it has:

License Details:
Type: Professional
Number: 188909
Dated: 20th June 2003


they did it today 😀
 
Wow! this part of the story:
"No one is interested in destroying anyone's computer," replied Randy Saaf of MediaDefender Inc., a secretive Los Angeles company that builds technology to disrupt music downloads. One technique deliberately downloads pirated material very slowly so other users can't.
I should sue! They stole my "technique!" It's called "using 14.4 modem..."
wow, another dot.com business that should go away...
