Double eeek!

Pretty vengeful and probably libelous to purposely destroy a users data.
There are any number of scenarios where a legitimate user could have that
happen to them.  Someone whose keyfile became corrupted for whatever reason
and had their data destroyed could sue bigtime.

Note that I am not condoning piracy, just being critical of this method of
fighting it.
