Nobody really uses Bittorrent to undermine the police state. They don't care about your dealings with the media industry as much.

And hey, why didn't you say "but that never happened to encryption"? Because it's about to happen in the US? Because it happened in Australia already?

You think a government that is seriously considering such bills will "gradually stop caring" about assaulting constitutional protections by banning effective encryption? If you haven't noticed, we're moving in the opposite direction, and not very gradually I might add.
