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.
