FYI, I am writing a paper on freenet for a copyright law class. So most of
my questions are purely academic.

Wouldn't this greatly cut down on anonimity? Companies like
http://www.rangerinc.com already scan gnutella traffic for copyrighted
songs. It make there job easier if they were able to check specific nodes
for keys to copyrighted material.
>(1) Where's their search warrant?
They don't need a warrant. Only the police need that. Under copyright law
you can be held vicariously liable if a person has the "right and ability to
supervise" what is going on. In the Napster case, the RIAA gave Napster a
list of songs that were on Napster and asked for them to be removed.

Would it be hard for an ISP to block out just Freenet traffic?
