Freenet 0.5 *is* blocked _today_ in China. It has been since August last year. The firewalls being erected by people such as BT and initiatives such as Cleanfeed will make enforcement easy, and legislation such as the DADVSI and quite possibly IPRED2 will make it illegal to build or distribute filesharing tools which don't provide a central blacklist. > For another, If > they're blocking freenet, they can block a darknet almost as easily. Absolutely not true. Freenet 0.5 was blocked in China because it has predictable connection setup bytes. Freenet 0.7 doesn't, and darknet makes steganographic transports much easier and more useful. Opennet can be blocked regardless of steganography by simple harvesting and then blocking on the firewall. > Keep in mind, you do NOT need to expose network topography for a > darknet. > > -Colin -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible. Our Boss says so.
