What is more fun winning a staring contest with a cat?

Sticking it to “the Man!”

The Germans, Interpol, NSA and nearly every other intelligence agency are pulling their hair out again because of Skype!

This news piece inspired me:

“November 27, 2007: German police have been foiled in their efforts to wiretap VoIP communications, saying that the encryption used by Skype’s Internet telephony software makes it impossible for them to monitor the conversations of criminal suspects.”

What the heck is Skype?

Skype is a free P2P system that happens to be encrypted with AES 256. In non-geek terms that means that if you call a friend on Skype, the data is encrypted with stronger encryption what what your online banking web site uses.

Why does Skpe matter?

Skype matters because personal freedom matters. Skype is the only free, publicly available, vocal (phone-like) communication system that Big Brother can’t listen in on.

Here is what Skype has to say about privacy.

Here is what USAToday has to say about Skype making evesdropping passe.

If you think that freedom is overrated and that we should “trust” the same intelligence apparatus that failed to protect us from 911, don’t use Skpe and wait for your turn to go to Club Gitmo.
