Concerning the new crypto regulations: " Note to paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this section: A printed book or other printed material setting forth encryption source code is not itself subject to the EAR (see Sec. 734.3(b)(2)). However, notwithstanding Sec. 734.3(b)(2), encryption source code in electronic form or media (e.g., computer diskette or CD ROM) remains subject to the EAR (see Sec. 734.3(b)(3))." This is a big question for me. How does the fact that the same exact information, when stored on magnetic media, cause it to lose its freedom of press protection? Has magnetic media never been tested in court for freedom of press applicability? What are the laws that outline the differences between magnetic media and printed media? Specifically, the one(s) that permit the non-protection of magnetic media? Does this mean that if a journal published an article on some strong non-key escrow encryption algorithm that included source code, it could not later offer that same article on a CD-ROM collection? or provide that same source code online?
