There are millions.

How many Good Guys are there? Thousands. And yet we can't get them what 
they need while the Bad Guys do.

This is a losing battle already, and instead of protecting information

Wake up. There is no real reason to do that other than to make a 
statement, are you making a statement? What is it?
