RIPA in use...

There is a fair amount of chatter (slashdot, The Reg comments) about an Animal Rights activist being told to hand over encryption keys for data that was found on her PC [The Register] [IndyMedia]. The new Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA) that came into force in October 2007 is being used to persuade people to part with their keys, at the risk of up to 5 years in prison for non co-operation.
