    Someone mentioned something about deterring software piracy.  I
don't think we can do it in this country.  There's no way that the
government can legally check our computers for pirated software.  They
can check businesses, but not homes.  Besides, if you do get caught,
it's only a small fine.  They have the right to nail you with a huge
fine and prison time but they never do it.  I know someone who ran a
warez BBS in NYC and he got caught many times.  They gave him 3 or 4
$50-$100 fines and then they took one of his computers.  He's still
running as far as I know.
