Remember when this all comes down folks that its the dogs up top that keep us biting and kicking at each other. When the time comes do not hesitate to strip them of everything. Time for new World Power Players rather than the ones that have been pulling our strings for centuries.
... some suckers buy DRM'ed media from a content provider like (for example) MLB.COM, and then the content provider decides to screw its customers and shuts down the license authentication servers? The suckers end up with encrypted files on their computer that they cannot decrypt. This could be problematic if the content provider is outside the jurisdiction of the law enforcement agency that is demanding the encryption keys.

If there IS an escape clause for th above situation, what prevents bad guys from disguising their secret files as content from defunct providers?
Damn, and I thought things were getting bad here in the states. You guys are one step ahead (behind?) us in this Orwellian thing that our world is becoming.

I wonder if the excuse that she lost the key would fly with your courts? She might have been keeping the encrypted files in the event she found it. Just a theory.
Not sure how news worthy this really is, the police can already request and access all sorts of personal information. Bank details etc. you name it, they can get it. In that regard this ruling is small beer cf. wanting to bang you up without evidence for 28 days or more.
The UK is past the slippery slope and quickly sliding into Socialism. Between the cameras every where and the RIPA act, England is well on its way to 1984. Unfortunately the USA is not far behind with the Patriot Act and all of the travel restrictions and rules we now face. You could not pay me enough to get on a an airplane these days and go through all of that hassle. While they are harassing citizens trying to travel illegal aliens continue to slip across our borders unimpeded. Here in Michigan we gladly provide them with drivers licenses so that they can establish themselves and even vote, even though they are not US citizens. Makes you sick!
Anyone know what she is using to encrypted those files?? I need to get that.
From the link:

"I know that they have given information about me to Huntingdon Life Sciences (as well as hospitalising me)"

we are on a slippery slope.
Even Hitler & his cohoots said & did the same thing.
Its for the greater good of society.

Minority report, anyone!!
