I think I mis-spoke in the initial thread. Let me try again.
What I am asking is - With a easy-to-use (and cheap) combination of cloud storage and strong encryption, it would make it virtually impossible for for copyright holders to be able to know even if their copyright is being violated, on a small scale.
Only if a key to a file is widely disseminated, would then the copyright holders be able to find out about the piracy.
Today, things like search engines allow millions people to find out about the availability of I.P., and be able to access it. This includes the pirates and the copyright holders both. Under the system coming into place, nobody other than the people with the decryption key would even know what a file is and what's in it.
This, to me, seems to be a game-changer. It's not that it couldn't be done before, but if there is simple, one stop shopping (so to speak), it will be as if the sneakernet just went online....
