You think "they" can't read PGP encrypted stuff? I doubt that. I
don't really know it, but I seriously think that anything can be broken, at
least anything that can be used in a "common" app.

Plus, knowing MS, they'll probably have at least a dozen backdoors plus an
API to unprotect everything, and the API can be called from a script in
media player, so it'll probably be all over in about ten minutes .
