It's unfortunate that the Patriot Act (In the US) makes the use of that application illegal, as that application can be seen as "breaking the digital rights barriers put in place" but the originators.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'm saying it very well, but I also think that the Act is too confining, not taking into account the Betamax case (again, in America) allowing Personal Use (Fair Use) rights. /shrug/ Congress is looking at two potential bills to allow a little more freedom in this regard, especially in the area of Fair Use, but it's contentious, and Hollywood in general has VERY deep pockets.
The Enduser is on the losing end of this, I'm afraid.
