I'm still mulling the Skype response...

 

Are there other examples beyond Skype?

 

Maybe Linux downloads?  Sharing the King James Version of the Bible?

 

Exactly what are those essential, right-to-privacy P2P applications that
demand privacy?

Not to be too flip about it, but It's not clear to me that helping
people break the law falls in the scope of the requirements for this
working group or of the IETF in general.

        I'm confused:  Can you provide a few examples of such
applications?
            

 
Skype, in countries where VoIP (or some encryption algorithms, or
anything else skype does) is illegal. Of course nobody is suggesting to
go break laws in foreign countries, but there is a strong understanding
that in this field in particular and in life in general privacy is
essential.
