Your odds of getting broke by a simple script kiddie are much higher on windows, if an experienced black hat is trying to hack it all bets are off.
Your setup is flawed from the start.
Religion, dictators, kings, and rest have tried for centuries to limit freedom, and they all eventually failed. RIAA/MPAA should get the idea already.
History repeats itself, what did you expect?
