Brilliant strategy. I remember a few years back a port scan of NSA.gov would give a stern "THIS COMPUTER SYSTEM IS PROPERTY OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS WILL BE PROSECUTED."

As a twelve-year-old messing with netcat for the first time, it terrified the s!&t out of me.

Unfortunately Brazilians are not scared 12 year olds, and would probably not be so concerned with a pre-recorded warning that has little chance of actually effecting them (who's going to track down some random logger talking soccer with a buddy?)

They should fear Anatel. The US Navy has no authority here.

There's nothing special about Brazilians that makes them fear government authority any less.
