a similar article made me think if I ever owe any digital audio whether from my own CDs or from internet, I would have stored it on encrypted drive, preferably encrypted with more than one encrypting algorithm, and either download from work/starbucks etc, or at least owe wireless router so if they go after me, I could claim someone was using my wireless router without my knowledge. I could just hope case against me wouldnt be that strong that they would weight between me giving out a key to my hard drive and lets say 15 hard years in jail.

EDIT: and then in court I would say I forgot the password because I havent been using this drive for a while now.

I've thought through similar scenarios multiple times, and then when I am about to post any of them online, I realize my post would probably be read by any competent investigator and it would be turned into an additional premeditation-based charge.

It definitely sucks having to consider how my comments will be construed in the future and what rights may be retroactively taken away due to intense lobbying and legislative ignorance.

thats why I never downloaded i single music file, never ripped a CD, and wrote this post from my work's network, just in case.
