I can agree to an extent. However I do not beleive that there is any
need to give the key to the authorities on any account. Purely on the
basis of my basic human right "To not incrimante my self". I am not
with holding evidence, they have the evidence, just cos they cant
decrypt this is there fault.

As for the me doing nothing illegal, so why should I worry. Well nor
was Jon johanson (I think thats how it is spelt) when he wrote DeCSS,
nor was Dymitry Skylarov. Just cos I ain't doing anything illegal
doesn't mean I am immune to it all. Remember who it is who runs the
coutry next time you ask these questions. I can tell you now it ain't
Blair!

Thanks
