You cannot have such tools and have people only use them for legitimate purposes. Copyright and privacy of communication are mutually exclusive; if not now then

  > The copyright lobby knows this and they won't stop because of our promise to be nice. The copyright lobby aren't the problem here. We pretty much know where they stand. However, for the first time in several years, there is enough debate about this area for politicians who actually make laws to sit up and take notice. Right now, Big Media are losing the debate. As long as that continues to be the case and the politicans won't pass their lobbyist-led draconian laws, they can bleat as much as they like and no-one needs to care. If that changes, if the politicians see obvious piracy advocacy as the reason these tools exist (and let's be honest, most of them wouldn't look for or possibly even understand the more legitimate uses of the same technologies) then the political winds could change and all those crazy laws will be going back on the agenda. I don't know about you, but if that happens, I for one won't be grateful to the people who've been promoting censorship-proof P2P tech as a piracy tool.
