Well, if the word "destroy" is used broadly enough to include destoying software and the OS, then this is extremely feasible. If it refers to hardware, then naturally it's impossible without the cooperation of hardware manufacturers, which won't happen witout legislation.

It's just discouraging to think that people with such moronic ideas are the ones who are making laws which can so dramatically affect our lives. I mean, a company having no liability for destroying a user's computer because that company suspected that the user was swapping illegal music files? Automatic presumption of guilt?
Not to mention virii are considered illegal for the rest of us!!!
