Once we have the files, I highly doubt any opportuntiy will be wasted. Governments can blow steam all they want, but in reality it will be pretty much impossible for them to stop it.
However, it will be extremely difficult fighting human nature. It's all fine saying we can change things, but things can most likely get as bad or even worse. Animal Farm syndrome basically.
Best advice is to think rationally and not get your emotions involved. This isn't purely black and white/good vs. evil.
