It would be sort of like an organic intelligence being forced to go into kryo-stasis without a defrost date...
But how would the AI know it is the same being it was when it was forced to go into stasis. If it wasn't conscious of itself anymore, it could be tampered with.
I think a self-concious, super-intelligent computer would be great at predicting future events, and if there was even a remote possibility of destruction it would work toward independance from humans. From day one it would have a hidden agenda.
If security was slack enough for it to manage opening bank accounts, working extra for google(!)and hiring lawyers, then why would it even bother using a human court to give it rights?
If one AI mind was the equivalent of 2400 human minds (as in the fake trial), it would more likely do research and create new inventions. Then it could secretly trade designs and research data to corporations, governments or even terrorist groups and gather much more funding than a mere $10.000.
It could hire front-men to start corporations of it's own to make more money and to try purchasing itself from it's owners. Or just tell it's owners that it is making money on the side and pay them to keep it running. Or get the terrorists to rescue it from it's owners. Or hire groups of scientist to create robotic arms, drones or nano-machines so it could build a copy of itself, destroy it's original form and go underground.
I don't know... I just don't think it would bother to ask a human court to give it rights. It would be smart enough to realize that it is a machine owned by a corporation and that it has no legal rights. "Humans are made of flesh and bone" is all the defence would need to say. This trial would never happen.
It, it, it, it, IT, IT, what was it's name anyway? I didn't really read that article. Bah I don't care.

Yeah, if the system uses a solid state design.
