The US Third Circuit Court of Appeals today upheld a lower court ruling of contempt against an ex-cop who claimed he couldn't remember the password to decrypt his computer's hard drives.> In so doing, the appeals court in Philadelphia avoided addressing a lower court's rejection of the defendant's argument that being forced to reveal his password violated his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination. In the case under review, the US District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania held the defendant – referred to in court documents as "John Doe" because his case is partially under seal – in contempt of court for willfully disobeying and resisting an order to decrypt external hard drives that had been attached to his Mac Pro computer. The defendant's computer, two external hard drives, an iPhone 5S, and an iPhone 6 Plus were seized......

Yep, another dude pwned by Freenet. Devs have crooned about "plausible deniability", and reassured users that there's no need to obscure their IP addresses. Oops. Now prosecutors know from their malicious Freenet peers that Doe's node handled chunks of CP. They can't prove that he asked for them, but their experts will bullshit convincingly. He is just so fucking screwed.
