It would seem that the basis file is essentially a one-time pad, albeit
not particularly random. In which case, the mono file is actually an
encrypted copy of the original file.
So this method probably wouldn't save you when the authorities ask for
your encryption keys and clearly find copyrighted material in easily
recognisable formats.
