What if a non-US person paid them $40 to spam people outside the U.S. with strong crypto?
Is it possible to stuff a blatant ITAR violation into about 100 lines of ascii?
Already been done. RSA in 4 lines of Perl, etc... Heck there was even a site out that that cut a UUENCODED copy of PGP into many bits and asked people to grab one of the bits to use as their signature. I.e. Part 50 out of N of PGP, etc... Someone with huge usenet archives (or cd's) could search for all of these outside of the USA and put them together into the whole. :) No need to pay someone $40 to spam when people will freely do this.
You could also take a packet radio modem and spam short wave (or whatever packet radio uses or can use that can get outside the usa) and send PGP that way if you like. Or take PGP, uuencode it and fax it outside of the USA. Or feed it through a voice synth and read it to a foreign phone number that has a voice decoder, or compose it as a MIDI song as Kent suggested and broadcast the song... Or tatoo it on your ass then when you visit russia have someone take a picture. :) (Though you might then be arrested in russia for porno or whatever the laws are there, heheheheh....)
Don't even need to use the internet to piss off the feds. :)
Ofcource you can just go to my web site and download PGP. IMNSHO Fuck the Feds. I for one will not let them violate my First Amendment Rights no matter how much they say that it is a Good Thing (tm) to do so. - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
