War on Keyservers
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but why are all these keyservers being forced to shut down? The possession of PGP *keys* should be perfectly legal, no? Or is the logic the same as that used to close down drug paraphernalia shops: if people are buying bongs, they must be smoking pot, and so we can't allow it? And exactly what grounds does PKP have for suing? Is it because the servers themselves are using PGP, rather than just storing keys? What if a server is using a legal (ViaCrypt) copy of PGP? (Problem: this argument can only be used for DOS boxes currently.) --Dave. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.2 iQCVAgUBLP+fvsfNklulBrsJAQGTCQP8DFF77E7zpB6nOzAwcLNbEgezVjt/yQTg DEtdmeY+hO9rcOUJoXwWMPbai2EhBHiyriAMYD5kcHrsbdiS99PW5A5kh4htaFDr Zrrkmn7KK0LXNL0fo2aJZVLKpiy9FxcJPmQvasTqe6EVltxbi4coTNR1wUoD5FE8 0sGj9AsGr+s= =2tQH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
