If the voice data passed through a service provider run asterisk
system, I'd imagine they'd just get a court order to force IAX
encryption to be turned off.  (Or try to pull some strings if the
service provider was in a foreign country.)

The question I have of this ruling is does this make end-to-End RTP
encryption illegal?  Ditto for re-invites that cut out all the
middlemen?  How are they planning in getting the two endpoints to stop
encrypting things without tipping off the same two endpoints?  What
about VPN tunnels?  Are they illegal now by the same logic?
