Two convicted in U.K. for refusal to decrypt data

[michael GRIFFITHS]

So who is on with the plausible deniability project for gpg?  

I have to admit the thought of not being able to prove my innocence
doesn't sound like a good prospect. Innocent until proven guilty just
isnt an option anymore

So the people who come on gnupg-users asking for help because they've
forgotten their passphrase or accidentally deleted their ~/.gnupg
directory don't exist?

I guess that's a new way of replying to them: "You don't exist".

Not forgetting the possibility of malicious intentions - trying to frame
someone by putting encrypted data onto someone's computer and tipping
off the authorities.
