In this case you can replace it pretty easily with any sort of material that’s illegal to possess, such as intellectual property that you do not own the rights to.

I don't think this is helping your argument, especially on HN. "We need to end privacy to preserve Warner Brothers and Disney profit margins"?
(If I have a DRM encrypted file that I don't have the keys for, am I now committing two offences? Are law enforcement entitled to a free copy of the HDCP keys?)
