Yah, it's pretty silly. People have been logging IRC sessions and putting them up on the web for over a decade. Nobody should have any expectation of privacy on IRC.
Some organizations in many nations have been logging everything possible anyway, and putting them in archives for ~ever. Strong cryptography with trusted software is the only way to go now, and even trusted software is a bit scary. And if you've upset the government enough that a warrant is issued, any amount of their impressive technology will completely side-step the cryptography anyway - e.g. tempest emissions or a surprise seizure of belongings.
