If installing the RC5 client is punishable by such a ridiculously excessive penalty, the State of Georgia would be better off going after the advertisers that stick cookies on machines to track web usage without the users knowledge, and sending the results back to the advertisers, for commercial purposes no less.

KW - Remember, when you say "The state of Georgia", you're talking about "The rich people in Georgia". They have the access and the control - not the people. So them spending the people's money on something that helps them cement their control makes PERFECT SENSE.
Remember the goal of all human beings that this country is founded on - self interest.
If the people who control the government can spend someone else's money to advance their own self interest, they always will - and the evidence is right here.
David mis-represented this figure in his original post on Anandtech and no one has bothered to check up on it.
It's simply wrong.
