Sounds like a great idea. :) However, any node that can be found by
someone can be attacked by the state or federal legal systems of whatever
country they reside in. We still need some kind of legal defense for
Freenet nodes and their node operators, in at least one country. Without
that, any permanent node operator is takeing a huge risk of prosecution.
