But my point is human society "tolerates" some removal of rights ALOT
more when safety is involved.

Yes, the reason they are necessary is due to human behaviour, but just
like capital punishment isn't used for someone who runs a stop sign, nor
should my rights be violated "as much" when trying to stop someone
copying software as someone driving drunk.
