I, and everyone else with half a brain, has long known that judges frequently say
"Hey, we are about to seize a truckload of your documents looking for deep
pockets^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hevidence, so don't start shredding.
What we doubt is that it is compulsory to retain incriminating evidence, or to
irretrievably publish material that might at some future time be declared a thought
crime. We also doubt that anyone has been punished for such acts in recent centuries.
The current state of the law is illustrated by the Nixon tapes, "The Wind Done Gone",
and the DVD ripping code.
