Intel owes me some money for my E5200 running at 1.2GHz in my server.

You have a point. And remember, trying to use an OCed chip as if it was stock is like pretending that a mp3 rip is as good as a CD. In reality if you want full quality you have to pay the full price, or else you're getting lossy, muffled, staticy benchmarks.

huh? no that's not true at all, a an overclocked cpu is exactly the same when running at the speeds of a faster cpu in the same line at stock. If a x3 710 is running @ the same speeds as an x3 -720, then its the same cpu, there's no difference in benchmarks.

If the RIAA/MPAA made processors, would all be sued and the penalty for overclocking would worse than for homicide.

While I'm trying to be in line with the spirit of the thread, I'd actually say it's not the same. Because you have to push your chip to match that of a higher binned chip, that higher binned chip should still be able to go further... and the fuzzy thing actually comes from an *IAA argument about how digital copies are never the equivalent of a CD (somebody apparently never heard of flac, either).
Although what's really funny is that there are plenty of people taking this thread seriously.

As funny as it sounds, there were people and manufactures trying to make that very argument that overclocking was theft and was the moral equivalent to stealing.

If AMD didn't want us to overclock then why release black edition processors??
