tags: legal · FileswappingSenator Orrin Hatch, who
this week noted he supports technology that would destroy the PC's of those who download illegal content, apparently ran an unlicensed, and therefore illegal, JavaScript menu system on his own website. According to
Wired News, the senator's
site uses a JavaScript menu system developed by Milonic Solutions, a software company in the UK, who say Hatch was using an illegitimate installation of their product.
"It's an unlicensed copy," said Andy Woolley, who runs Milonic.
"It's very unfortunate for him because of those comments he made." Irony, how
sweet thou art.
