Taking that right away is a serious interference by the government in your personal rights... No matter how strange it might sound, it's the governement's job to interfere with your personal rights - mostly to make sure that you are able to exercise those rights in real life.
Also, it is governement's duty to revoke those rights whenever their exercise is abusive.
To make a stupid car analogy : if you drive recklessly and get caught, you might lose your driver's licence, because you are endangering your fellow citizens' lives. Not being able to drive anymore will interfere with your ability to go to your workplace, bank or anything else, but that's kida the whole point.
...your hard drive and your toy-router break at the same time ?
It happened to me yesterday at home. I plugged in a new hard drive, and plugged my modem straight into my computer. Installed WinXP SP1, and before i could even get to update it, my computer got raped by spyware and shitware and popups and shit. UGH.
I was trying to be a dummie and do things from scratch like my mom would do, by following instructions from the manual, and i ended with an fresh and unusable install of WinXP.
I never heard of anything similar on any non-MS OS. Thats more than enough for me to hate Bill personally.
