Oh, yes... I would really like to see this. A SWAT team busting in on Johnny Quarterback at a quaint little college without a warrant or probable cause. That is, unless, he's developed a notorious reputation for massively distributing burned CD's commercially.

Does the FBI come knocking on the door of a media hound who tapes every single video he rents from Blockbuster? Does the DEA run a stakeout, prowling around a rural home with a little "greenhouse" in the back? I would really like to see the respective industries get away with this. Probable cause is a must before you can just go barging in on John Q. Burner.

I can see it now...

Prisoner A - "So what are you in for?"

Prisoner B - "Armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, burglary and attempted murder. Some counts of manslaughter possibly."

Prisoner A - "Wow, that's rough..."

Prisoner B - "Yeah, well... here I am. What are you in for?"

Prisoner A - "Umm, well... copying CD's and trading files over the internet -- for nonprofit reasons."

Prisoner B - "Damn that's bad, man. I feel sorry for you. You're already getting reamed and you haven't even been to the showers yet."
