The government can and does wiretap anything they want for any reason or no reason. They're never going to relinquish power like that, we just have to give up and accept this as a fact of life.
The Acid tests would be a lot more productive if they were oriented more towards the practical non-compliance issues than obscure ones. A back-asswards JavaScript implementation or a horrible box model is more of an issue than the inability to display base64 images encoded directly into the page markup. Total compliance is great, but it's much more pragmatic to get the fundamental issues fixed first.
Or you could just, you know, use any old livecd to steal the SAM file and crack it in a few minutes. That way your adversary doesn't know they've been compromised.
Independent studios rely on DVD releases for profitability. As high definition becomes the standard for content quality, consumers will be more and more averse to buying content on what they see as the "old" DVD format. But unlike with DVD and HD DVD where independents have the option to sell DRM-free discs when they can't afford the gargantuan licensing costs, Blu-ray's mandatory AACS effectively prevents them from being able to sell high definition optical discs, relegating them to the "old" and "low-rent" standard definition DVD format and ultimately snuffing them out as less and less consumers buy DVDs.

Those kinds of machines (especially in businesses) don't generally have 1394 ports, so you're not going to be able to use this attack.

This is an entirely uncomplicated issue which can be neatly and completely resolved by (insert alleged simple solution here).
So if I break into your house, steal all your stuff, then sue you for the house, I'm legally protected? Neat!
