Users shouldn’t constantly feel like they are being threatened that their data may be erased. I wouldn’t even consider buying a product that would do that. The manufacturer is simply hurting themselves by doing this.

I think this would be terrible. Computers that lock up your hard drive could lead to having to do way more work than necessary. I could not imagine hitting one wrong key and my machine locks up and all my work is gone. I would be completely horrified.

The thought of having a harddrive that I own lock up, or ever delete everything on it, because of what someone thinks is unauthorised data is outragious. Having to use scare tactics to get people to not download music or movies seems wrong and shouldn’t be necessary at any point.
