Doesn't the DMCA have a proviso about encrypted data? Something along the lines that it cannot be submitted as evidence (even if it can be decrypted) without a warrant?
Failing that, just use TrueCrypt. It let's you encrypt a volume with TWO passwords. A true password that contains your real data, and a fake one that decrypts sensitive-looking but non-incriminating data. If the feds subpoena you, just provide the fake password, and say hello to plausible deniability!!
I'd be very interested in building a HTPC --I already have a spare box and TV card -- but only if it's able to route broadcast TV, Foxtel Digital (satellite), my VCR and my Xbox all to 1 output which is controlled by 1 remote.
As far as I can tell, I'd need to buy one tv card for every source I want to output, and that's just not reasonable.
Isn't there some sort of device that can combine multiple sources, all controlled by 1 remote?
If all it can do is provide a reasonable guarantee that a particular piece of software comes from a given company, what's the point???
I want a reliable guarantee that the software contains no malicious code or adware -- until VeriSign can do that, all they're providing is a false sense of security.
