So if the RIAA makes protected CDs so I can't rip them to MP3, don't I have the beginnings of a class action lawsuit against the RIAA or the record company arguing that they are not allowing my my rights to listen to music in the chosen format I already paid for?

I certainly hope you do. If somebody takes the task of bringing up such a case, count me in as a donor to legal expenses fund!

Futher, wouldn't seaching my systems for music I already paid for also constitute illegal search and seisure?

That was one of the things they were trying to immunize themselves from.
