Lemme see ...

Customer X complains that web site Y has "porn" on its pages.
Government censors check Y over the net. Can't find any porn.
Government assumes porn is hidden. Government gets warrant and Police
confiscate hardware of site Y. Months pass ...
Government still can't find porn. But there are encrypted files.
Government requires owner to decrypt encrypted files. Still no porn.

Lots of waste here.

Nick.
