If the (American) federal government hadn't spent a decade getting secret warrants from secret judges without reasonable suspicion or filing charges then Apple, Google and others wouldn't have been pressured to encrypt data from government overreach.

The FBI, et al, fails to understand that, had they just played by the rules regarding warrants and judicial review, they wouldn't be in the mess they're in now. I applaud Apple, Google and others for their proactive response to illegal government encroachment on rights.

Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/
