Cutting access is bad, but it's not the same as forcing you to divulge
the contents of your data store (even in a "yes/no" way).

You actually think the RIAA (or whoever) is going to hand you a list
of CHKs? I really really doubt it. If anything, it will be KSKs.
If they hand you a list of CHKs, all you have to do it mistype them
and report that you didn't find them in your data store. (If for some
reason you actually choose to obey their commands.) For that matter,
you could mistype the KSKs.
Actually, this whole discussion is moot -- if I wanted to search a known
node for a file, I would just do
freenet_request -h 1 -s tcp/XX.XX.XX.XX:YYYYY KEY tempfile
If the RIAA can't figure that out, too bad.
But once they've confirmed that you have a certain key, so what? How
can they force you to delete it? You'd have to delete your whole data
store, since they (and you) have no certain way of pinpointing the exact
filename. Surely a demand that you remove your whole data store would
be so ludicrous that it would be ignored.
Or at least, so I'd hope.
