I think a better solution is to start a blog pretending to be someone else. One of the problems with this is the school has no actual evidence tying the blog to the student, unless they check it on school grounds.

Or one pretending to be the principal; nobody will believe it, but it will illustrate the problems with tieing the "crime" to the criminal.

While Fair Use isn't explicitly dealt with in the Constitution (it was meant to only provide a framework), you could argue intent for it because of the IXth ammendment which says the enumeration of certain rights (in the Consitution) doesn't mean there aren't others (like Fair Use). Fair Use was established by a court decision, I believe, quite a while ago.
Also there is no way 96 Billion dollars for one college student can't be considered an excessive fine, which is illegal under the VIIIth ammendment.

And right when the Iraq War is scheduled to end as well. Maybe they're just waiting for the troops to get home so they don't feel left out.
