Yup! This is exactly why I posted this, b/c even I fall in this category. I'm a hacker that got in trouble with Google and was convicted through the Patriot Act[0]...yet I still use their products. Reason: ease of use and I do like google.

My next project after my current one was inspired by the ECPA[1]. Simple concept: employ PGP, a simple UI, and sell users a custom WD My Book Live[2] (I'm sure you can see where this goes).
