I don't think it would. Especially with the current Supreme Court and Congress. First, Congress is not going to go against the information industry lobbyists who want to be able to deal harsh penalties to those who fileshare.

Second, the Supreme Court, especially with its current makeup is unlikely to create any new rights like this from whole cloth. Could a Constitutional argument be made? Oh sure... would it go anywhere? Highly unlikely. The U.S. has avoided entanglement in international human rights tribunals for good reason.
