    No, they don't however, if you try to use strong encryption from inside the united states to outside the united states you fall under their law.
    And they don't like it, if you use strong encryption to many countries around the world.

    In fact .... it is a big nono.
    Would they prosecute... probably... he has a huge target on his forehead.

    I am curious about how he is doing strong encryption without getting busted for it. He is planning a worldwide cloud of these... so that means into and out of the US, and into and out of any number of countries that are on the no-no list for strong encryption. Does someone know why he thinks he can get away with this?

    mmmm... my last statement....
    I meant to say:
    Does someone know why he thinks he can get away with this legally?

    I am not going to go into how hypocritical this was... (two words Xerox Parc visit)

    But, I will say this. I didn't really much like the man when he was alive.
    Although, I loved NeXt, and own a macbook pro (and love it)

    I find myself wasting more time on him now that he is dead then when he was alive.
    My goal is not to mention his name, his practices, or his 'sainthood' for at least a year or until the next slashdot article pisses me off
