But strategically speaking, the best way to fight laws mandating encryption backdoors, is for the cops to be relying on the same common encryption protocols and software to secure their own communications that we use for ours. This kind of strategy has a long tradition in Free Code software. A lot of privacy software has been funded by the OTF (eg TOR), which gets its money from the US federal government. The US NSA started SELinux, etc, etc.
