Erm... it's called we've have laws over privacy on data for many many  
years and rights to view and dispute collected data about us.

I'm not too fussed about this part of RIPA - it seems pretty susceptible  
to the "I can't remember" line, or, if I had data that incriminated me to  
a serious crime that was encrypted I'd just chose to take the 12 month  
sentence for not giving out my key...
