Nothing about Napster winning would do anything to protect fair use by
individuals. The line Napster wants to draw is that their service is
legit, and a crime is committed by a person who "drags" an mp3 into
their Napster "folder".

Regarding your other point about RIAA going after hardware makers: 
they'll do that no matter who wins this case.

If there was an apt/freenet interface, Freenet would be saturated with
Debian packages.
