If they already have all the data that is on your computer (and they do,)before you encrypt it using any means possible - is there any point in encrypting the data ?
The archives are actually full of highly classified material that people have just forgotten about because of persons being posted, dying, leaving the forces etc. e.g.: Material about exo-planets from 1957? fascinating stuff.
If the Canadians Governments CPCC collection method that has distributed over 150 million to artists is socialist, then the US Governments RIAA model that has distibuted zero to artists must be Facism. (And the difference is considerable - Canadians collect 2342% more from file sharers tha the Americans do AND they distribute these monies. Has anyone heard of the RIAA distributing any of the 22 million it collected from the infringement notices? No, I didnt think so.)
So the question for Barrie MKenna and RIAA supporters is not, is the Canadian Government Socialist.
It is, why are Americans allowing industry to run their Government ? (Which is technically Facism.)
On the other hand, A Government that takes responsible actions to ensure that it's society benefits from the collection of taxes within it's own borders is in fact protecting it's population from the consumer disease that appears to be affecting the USA.
The American people no longer actually manufacture anyhtiong very much, so Trade Agreements like ACTA are designed to force a number of countries into compliance with the new American Commerce Model. All Intellectual Property belongs to the USA.
Anybody that disagrees is a communist.
Mr. McKenna's article forgets to mention (conveniently?) that Canada is one of the prefered especially selected ACTA partners of the USA.
I wrote quite a bit more about this at including debunking Mr. McKennas sources and his obvious erroneous mathematics.
I also showed that Canadians download less per capita than the USA and buy more music per capita than the USA.

Just in case
