Between the Digital Millenium Criminalization Act
and this amazing Encrypting Disk business, we are
witnessing the creation and aggressive criminalization
of Thought Crimes.  It is becoming illegal to have
certain thoughts, to think about certain problems.
This is simply monstrous and will be the moral equivalent
of killing the golden goose just to stuff a pillow.
