Software patent trolls don't go around doing things for which steganography would be any kind of defense, and no amount of edgy werds changes that.

That's pathetic. You think a court that would find you in contempt for not disclosing an encryption key would buy that? For that matter, the presence of a file of apparently random data does not prove the existence of encrypted data either.
The difference is that you can convince a jury that apparently random data is very likely encrypted, but the argument that ``somewhere in the computer there might be some encrypted data but we haven't found any traces of it yet'' doesn't really work. Unless you're in a witch trial or something.

Also, supposing you have software-patent-covered or DRM-breaking software on your computer and you want to travel to another country. Border searches are practically unlimited, and you are pretty much required to provide any passphrase to anything a border agent may find (if you want to ever see your laptop again, that is).
