I didn't say the lawsuit was frivolous. In fact, it was a (partially) legitimate case against my employer. You should have seen the mass of subpoenas the prosecution submitted. In the end, it was ALL up to he judge which ones to allow and which one's to dismiss.

The other reason I care to protect my data, what if Carbonite's servers get hacked? Someone with obviously demonstrated criminal behavior would have my data. Encrypted, at least I get time to cancel my credit cards, change bank accounts, PIN numbers, passwords.

Srsly, there's absolutely no defense for not encrypting your data. I've been in this industry for 29 years now and know all to well exactly what can happen. It's not just the police I protect myself from, it's EVERYONE.
