One "what if" I was thinking about is lets say the RIAA compiles a list of
keys of copyrighted works and then randomly picks node operators and tries
to legally force them to check for these keys. The point being to scare
people away from using freenet on their home PC or scare ISP's into blocking
freenet traffic (I guess you could do this by blocking all but a few ports
used for regular web surfing).
Any thoughts on this?

Yes, that is very easy to do. You don't even need to look 'inside' your
node; just say
frequest -htl 1 KSK@company/topsecret
That particular company won't gain a lot though, even if they manage to
have many node operators delete that file - if the content is
interesting in any way, there will be many many other nodes holding the
data too.
