    When are people going to learn that "renting" files that expire isn't going to work for one simple reason: 90% of the people on here (maybe that's optimistic, of course I'm not counting the trolls) could crack the encryption. Hell, I'm one of them. If we have the data on our hard drives, we'll find a way to access it. Don't tell me they're going to use ROT13 to "encrypt" it are they ;-)
