It’s been a busy week for Orrin Hatch. He appeared in a hearing on Tuesday and announced that he was in favor of destructive vigilante justice without trial. As long as it was administered by entertainment conglomerates. This would send a powerful lesson to people who would steal intellectual property. So as he was coming out in favor of damaging property without trial to “teach somebody about copyrights,” what was happening on Hatch’s own site?
According to Wired, Hatch’s Senate site uses a copyrighted JavaScript menu system that he has not licensed. So what’s the important content that Hatch’s site has been serving illegally? Bare! Breasted! Women! According to the Associated Press, Hatch’s tax-funded site linked to a Utah-related search site whose registration was domain-napped in May and pointed to a porn site. It was a great week, what with our tax dollars paying for official calls for an extrajudicial system of revenge punishments while supporting stolen copyrighted material and helping the public find porn more easily.
