In Soviet Union every single typewriter was registered and every typewriter owner had to provide a sample of the text typed on machine for tracing of hand typed "illegal" books - called samizdat(s)
And, no matter what problems there may be now, I'll bet you're glad *that* is no longer in place, yes?
