I don't see any reason why they might not change the law, as the FBI is proposing, or try to bancrupt a sixt person by going to court again against someone with limited financial resources. There is the extra burden that in the US judges can check laws against the constitution (one of the few things I really like about the US law system) but someone smart might just overcome that. Perhaps they will fail a few more times, but just as with the "fre trade" treaties, fail once and try again and keep trying until you succeed. And that is assuming the government is playing it fair. They seem quite fanatic since Snowden's revelations. If you have done something in your younger years you don't want to become general knowledge you do might have a problem. >> There's a lot of precedent protecting libre hackers.
