There is an editorial in the June 11 San Jose Mercury News titled, "Feds
have lost battle against encryption". It mentions the Sun/Elvis+ deal, and
representative Goodlatte's bill. It says, "Government warriors should pack
up their rusty cannons, admit that they've lost this battle, and learn to
live in the 1990s." It speaks favorably of increased sentencing for
criminal use of encryption. It says the bill does not go far enough in
removing export controls.
