If a company operates inside the borders of the U.S.--and rsync.net does--it is subject to U.S. law. If they receive a FISA letter they will give up the data because U.S. law says that they have to, or go to jail.

> Existing and proposed laws, especially as relate to the US Patriot Act, etc., provide for secret warrants, searches and seizures of data, such as library records.

> Some such laws provide for criminal penalties for revealing the warrant, search or seizure, disallowing the disclosure of events that would materially affect the users of a service such as rsync.net.

> rsync.net and its principals and employees will in fact comply with such warrants and their provisions for secrecy.
