Yes.. The same story was reported by a few other media.

But.. The French authorities contacted EuroPol who then  
contacted the Swiss authorities who then seemed to twist PM's  
arm.  PM explained that they *did* review the "evidence" that  
was presented by the Swiss authorities and that was the key  
that convinced them that that particular user was not abiding  
by the "no illegal activity" usage of the PM service.

So, if one does not occupy themselves in illegal activities  
that provide grounds to be suspect and rouse suspicions, then  
PM won't be pressured to log or reveal anything.

One of the new pgp-based services I listed used a local-store  
technique for one's key.  So, that one might be OK to settle  
with.

BTW..  I sent a pgp'd email to your zc@minftn.net address. Did  
you get it?  It didn't bounce or anything. I had your public  
key in my system from some time ago I don't know exactly when.
