  4. Related defense that might work - comments? by Nels · · Score: 1 · on RIAA Prepares Legal Blitz Against Filesharers

    Does the DMCA prevent the circumvention of encryption schemes that even *might* reveal copyrighted information?
    If so, WASTE, simply by virtue of being encrypted, might be a legally impenetrable way of running file sharing.
    However, even if that is true, does the law provide any safeguard against people who are privy to copyrighted information who decrypt it and supply it to law enforcement agencies? If it does, well obviously you have to keep things closed off to the public, but on the (extremely unlikely) chance that it doesn't, one could create a program with a deliberately facile encryption feature and the info would be legally protected.
