They depend on them. Same with phones... pens... radios etc. ... (Not to talk again about human memory) All these items have the SAME importance as crypto... with an increasing treat cars can be when changed in REAL weapons. Are these anti-crypto folks just stupid... or insane?: Why don't they do laws limited to the terrorists?!? In my country guns are prohibited... but criminals have them. The arguments used by them just smell funny. So: Anti-Crypto can only have a point as a tool to political control. It also is the negation of all human rights including the one of intellectual property. Brave new World?!? >I see two extrapolated futures.

The result: The degradation of social and cultural links. ... and what have been the actions taken to such irresponsibility?!? Not actions of correction but of repression... Wrong path!!!

Unfortunately, AFAIK copyrighted software is NOT public domain. GPL and the like usually make a big song and dance to the effect of "this s/w is copyrighted and not in the public domain". Even worse, I think the original PGP is pretty clearly not in the public domain, since commercial uses must be paid for. So does anyone know just how does Wassenaar define the term "public domain", and is open source indeed covered? Cheers, Frank.

I know that many others will do the same without >hesitation. Today I called the manager of the branch where I have account (for many years) and asked him about "Know your customer" thingy and reporting that they currently do. He seemed knowledgable to a certain extent about this matter, and assured me that today they report only the $10K+ cash transactions. Then I told him that I will take my business elsewhere should they decide to offer "know your customer" service to the government and asked him nicely to relay my stand to his manager. Call them. These people make living from your money.
