However Truecrypt does not protect you from being sued by RIAA etc.Truecrypt only protect "content" of the data,it does not remove the "proof of existence" of the data.Even Truecrypt successfully hide the file you downloded,how about the swap file remain in C:?How about system registry?How about hidden Application data folder? The main problem of Truecrypt is that it cannot boot drive,which most logs reside.

This is not a case of security by obscurity, I can tell. I guess I better give it my own shot.
