This is closer to "Because a bad guy used a Master Lock, Master Lock Company needs to give us a master key for all Master Locks". Which leads to some really disturbing consequences when you stop to realize that other governments will then start making these same demands.
I hate to say this Mike, but I think you are one of the few that sees "We are licensing our stuff" and "she didn't license it and is thus to be mocked/threatened/etc" as being seperate issues. It infact sounds a lot like, well, what all the other license-holders we -normally- complain about.
anti-malware/anti-virus is better compared to an anti-botic: what you use -after- you have the bug. Adblock is better compared to a vaccine: You never get it in the first place. Now, some antiviruses will scan your HTTP communication for known bad actors. HTTPS is a different ballgame, unless it's running a dangerous to your security man in the middle game.
Funny fact: I -can- point to exactly one website I know of who's gone through several ad providers because of malicious/bad advertising behavior. It's why I actually trust Erfworld enough to turn off my blocker while visiting.
In theory, 1.528 Mbit/sec down, 0.128 Mbit/sec up. And I'm in an 'overbuilt' area. And an 'area of high demand'. AKA, yes, we know we're overpromised on our infrastructure and have known for years. Supposedly they are going to be working on the infrastructure sometime this calendar year. Not holding my breath.
What's more glaring here, is the statement is so utterly silly in general that it makes the head hurt. While HTTPS -usually- is transported in TCP packets for the whole reliability thing, it's quite possible to use HTTPS packets in UDP. Just not as reliable to arrive at the other end. The two protocols listed aren't comparable int he slightest.
surprising fact: newer versions of iOS have the exponential time until next attempt thing. I've had to hard-reset a few that got timers into the year+ range...
The problem: Even with that line of protections, if the communication is end to end encrypted (SSL/TLS for instance), all you get is scrambled nonsense. If a third party can defeat the encryption in anything resembling real time (what is being asked for), then the encryption isn't worth being used as someone else will figure out the same breakhole. Because encryption isn't magic, it's math. And you can't make a reversible math algorithm that only works for one group.

A question...
How does a US court get to enforce such an injunction over someone who is not in their jurisdiction?
