I guess companies will start threatening single users by sending them some important mail from a lawer, saying: "We were able to retrieve child porn/song x/... from your computer via Freenet, which means you were breaking the law. If you don't shut down your Freenet node, blah blah,.. and BTW we'll sue you for the illegal copy."
This will scare many users off and have them give up. Maybe we should have some weapons prepared, so they don't fall into panic upon getting such a letter. We could provide a sample response text with the Freenet distributions which goes like: "The Freenet network is not able to censor single files or certain content out. All content is sent encrypted and I am with no means able to identify or control the content which is being stored on my node. Even though you were able to retrieve forbidden information via my Freenet node, it does not mean I was in the possesion of these files before *your* retrieval request put them there." (blah, blah, blah,...) You get the point, somebody similar to a lawer could have a short look at it, and making it as bullet proof as it gets. What do you think of it?
