Ask Dmitri Skylarov, who got a trip to jail just for pointing out that Adobe really *did* use rot-13 encryption (really!) in their e-Book products. And that was just for the DMCA. Things are even worse under the Patriot Act - we may *never* find out why Mike Hawash has been sitting in solitary confinement for a month, uncharged with anything, and not allowed to contact a lawyer. It's serious.
