Is information free? Not for Mr. X who had to pay to install all this little nice machines he bought, employ people that run those, … Indeed Mr.X could have saved himself a lot of trouble and money. (He could have saved that and reduced the prices for his products/services or taxes and fewer people would complain resp. invest their time and money in projects to send bad video copies around, but …)

Anyway, you are speaking always of intellectual property (intangible property that is the result of creativity,such as patents, copyrights, etc.) but I speak of privacy (a state in which one is not observed or disturbed by other people). When A and B have a chat about lives trivialities they do not like to be observed. Where is the intellectual property here, the “Happy B’day” message?

If A and B exchange intellectual property of C, like a video, while they have a chat, sorry for C, its private.

Hope that clears a little the air.

Not sure what do mean with "illegal way", content providers and ISPs have been teaming up to inspect internet packets since the technology is available in most developed countries. Obviously not everybody can in practice do it, it takes infrastructure and the right amount of money in the pockets of politicians.

Mr X listening to communications is something I would expect in a state where intellectual property rights exist, you know, contractual obligations have to be enforced.

>>>>>> The very definition of communication goes against the concept of private property, once you share the information you lost the capacity of depriving the rest of the world of it. What strong encryption provides is just secured communication channels and that's about it. I find people who supports intellectual property and privacy rights at the same time amusing, because you know, the only way we have to enforce property rights on information is precisely having full control of it, using massive surveillance systems.

Let the general populace cannibalize themselves, that's their choice, but those who are actually alive need a way to communicate without prosecution. Stop worrying about everyone else and focus on the things that you as an individual find important. Similar individuals who share a vision will be drawn together. It's never been about saving the world and it never will be.

Said differently it doesn’t mean that if two people are interested in doing the same thing, they are both doing it for the same reason. The reason, in my opinion, is actually the most important thing and agree on what to do is just not enough, we should also agree on WHY we do it.

If we continue in what we are doing, in not too long we will completely fuck ourselves. We have actually already fucked ourselves, the club of Rome warned us of this already in 1972, but nobody listened to their warning that if nothing were to be done there would not be any turning back. We are now too late. We are fucked. All we can do is extend our the lifetime of humanity, but what has been done is the last century is now IRREVERSIBLE.
