I have thought about this from a game theory point of view. Imagine a game 
where both player saw all the traffic pass though an under sea fiber optic 
cable. And then on some day in the future neither player can see any of the 
traffic unless they one player enables the other. Obviously if they both 
cooperated, they would be back the how it was at the start of the game. The 
question of if they will cooperate or not seems to me to depend on how they 
both use the data they used to get from the fiber optic cable, and the calculus 
of value of the information to them vs the value of the other player not having 
the information. 

I get your point but I'm pretty cautious about assumption of who will and will 
not cooperate when people feel the end result justifies pretty outrageous means 
of getting to the end result. That said, I'm a fan of the types of check and 
balances you get when more than one person has to behave badly.
