I actually just read a book set in 2040 England where this basically happened, they'd created a system where if you tried to remove the hardware the CPU would be dissolved. The book was called "Pirate [something]" I can't remember the exact name but it had pirate in it...

The best I could do after a lot of searching (lots of books with pirate in the title): http://www.amazon.com/Pirate-Cinema-Cory-Doctorow/dp/0765329...

Your description sounds good. This book doesn't sound that good but it is future England, has to do with computers has pirate in the title.

That's it!

The book is okay, I was kinda surprised at how good he was at keeping the tech believable... still he mostly failed as authors who know little about tech do
