If Chaum's solution is meant to be a solution, it requires that all
other methods to protect messages are successfully being declared unlawful.

To be able to decrypt a "bad guy's communication" by co-operation of some
nine super-trustworthy entities, it's essential that the bad guys abide
the law and use only allowed means of communications, which they don't
and never will.

So Chaum's solution is not a solution at all.
