And then Crypto is regulated - I worked on a project for BT Worldwide where we had a matrix of what what and wasn't allowed to do. In France we had to deny access to some info as we where not legally allowed to use crypto over dialup.

Oh and Burma had the death penaty for some uses of cryptography - luckly we did not have a JV in Burma
