Encryption's value is in the hands of someone willing to defy a subpeona

right.
This is very deep. For real. (Besides also being modern love-song
material!) It's the core of information-transmission in any form: value
of, and in trust.
But how does ubuntustudio translate this? How does the awareness of the
vulnerability of a computer integrate with the creative process?
Having read some of these things... I think there are two distinct actions
involved here. Artistic creation and distribution. It is reasonable in
some cases even on a machine that is never conected to the network to want
to ensure the disk is not readable by anyone but the owner. That is what
an encrypted disk is for. However, I think the art of distribution in an
untracable way is probably outside the scope of Ubuntu Studio.
So being able to create a clean (metadata wise) Audio/video/graphic is
something that should be doable with studio, but having SW that protects
browsers or allows traceless connection is not. I think there are two
reasons for this. One is that Ubuntu would not want to be seen as a
"cracker's" tool kit (or criminal's tool kit). The other, is that I think
someone who's life depends on their online security would want to build
that security from the bottom up so that _they_ know what they have and
can be sure they have done their best and that the security they are
relying on is not a trap to catch them in the first place.
