Correct, their true motive is just to stop all the privacy. But that's not their current legal argument. The latter is what courts deal with.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with their lawyers. I responded to the post above which makes a legal extrapolation which the prosecutor more or less explicitly deals with. It doesn't hurt if lawyers try it anyway, but if we just post something like that and move on to work on other things, then two years later the case is lost and we're all surprised. 
 Thank you. I see your point now, after a million messages.
