Most people understand that large hunk of random looking data is either
compressed or encrypted. You may be able to claim that your
no-partition-tables hard disk contains compressed data if you slap gzip or
bzip2 header to the beginning of the the disk. Or even better, write a
header that says "technobubble compressor version 0.1-alpha3 1999-06-15".
When asked how to decompress that, you say "they went out of business".
