Nice Troll, but I must point a few small blunders out.
But because the good of society NEVER outweighs the good of the individual (this is a fundamental tenet of modern political theory)
Modern polictical thoery is based on the protection of the minority from the tyranny of the majority.
Anything else is unjust, and in fact unconstitutional. (Remember the 4th Amendment? Protection against unreasonable seizures of property?)
Yes I do remember that amendment:
Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
That amendment regards PHYSICAL items, nowhere does it touch on the topic of non-physical property.
You might have been better off going along the lines of Article 1, Section 8, Point 8:
To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;

The MTU person had over 1,500 songs, I browsed it after catching the program scan me.
I think that while the act of running this program brought the RIAA down on them the actual charges will be filed based on the actual songs and stuff on that person's computer.
The student at MTU was operating a listing of files on resnet as well as about 1,500 of his own files. He also holds a student job somewhere on campus, but the program was running from his resnet connection.
Yeah I have to agree, while I think AMD's x86-64 chips doing better because of the backward compatibility, I would rather see the IA-64 one succeed because of the lack of backwards compatibility.

Or like my NFS server that won't even show up if you port scan me from outside of MTU's resnet...

Go MTU! My connection off campus slowed down because of all you freaks.
