"(in)famous for his idea of destroying the computers of copyright violators"...
Hmm, this is no different from the policies surround the contraband of Marijuana. The police in the US have the power to destroy any vehichle, or part of a vehicle, if they have probable cuase for it, as well as confiscate houses, cars, paraphenalia..etc. involved with any similar activity.
I wouldn't be surprised than if (when) this happens, that they'll also take the libery of seizing the file sharer's external modem, phone lines that are running through the house, software, and software liscenses used (Such as that of windows, for running the file sharing program.)...
It's only a matter of time ( if this tactic quoted above is of serious consideration).
