Why nobody talks about steganography? Even if there are laws forbidding cryptography, the interested parties can use that today, if they have plausible deniability.
That's in the worst case when majority doesn't care, minority isn't strong enough and there aren't enough education about how to implement cryptography reliably in the absence of companies which would offer the product.
Im glad that steganography exists but the fight we are fighing, is about the large public. I have no dought that with Open Hardware, Open Source, Smartcards, Tor and a lot more, I will always be able to hid my most important message I send to a simularly connected friend.
However that is not usuable for most people and such products will have a hard time taking over majority market share.
