The whole things feels more like an easy way of putting (more) people into jail than anything else. Since the tech crowd isn't running around on the street smoking their joints (well, for the most part at least) it's far easier for law enforcement to shoot them down via the help of some random audio file on one of their devices.

TPP is as much a political agenda as it is a trade agreement. The US wants their "standards" around the globe, so they can get you anytime, anywhere without you having any chance of defending yourself. You cannot build a global surveillance state if there are still people around which can potentially undermine you by use of technology, so you need to get rid of them in a "nice and clean" way, and charging some cryptographers for illegal music will produce much less public outcry as if you were to put them into prison for doing their everyday work.

How sad it may sound, Cameron could learn a lot from these folks :/
