Big \o/ for linking to mobile version!


  So in 1997, President Bill Clinton relaxed export controls on
  encryption. This had the unintended effect of giving criminals new
  ways to steal intellectual property: now they could easily encrypt
  what they took and send it out of the country, to Russia, China, or
  elsewhere. Those criminals pioneered the systematic exfiltration of
  intellectual property that plagues American business today.

Quite an interesting passage, I would say!
