A correction. Andreas Kuckartz: > Would Netflix inform the public or shut down its operations when it > receives a secret order to participate in surveillance by using a > backdoor contained in a CDM which is already installed on a users > computer? (After the shutdown of lavabit.com this unfortunately is not a > rhetorical question.) When I wrote that I assumed that shutting down operations or a company could be a legal alternative. That assumption seems to have been incorrect: 'I could be arrested for this action," Ladar Levison told NBC News about his decision to shut down his company, Lavabit LLC, in protest over a secret court order he had received from a federal court that is overseeing the investigation into Snowden.' http://investigations.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/08/13/20008036-lavabitcom-owner-i-could-be-arrested-for-resisting-surveillance-order?lite Cheers, Andreas
