Is there a statute against murdering classic puters?
Well there should be! 25 TO LIFE!! LOL LOL LOL.
I think 'murder' would have to mean deliberate killing here. E.g. like
extracing the gold from the last remaining example of some machine.
If a machine fails in normal use (and the user is not doing something
very stupid at the time), then that should carry a much lower penalty.
And if said user then gets the machine working again, there should be no
penalty at all.
