That's a high-risk strategy, and it may yet fail for Napster. I would rather there were more unquestionably legitimate stuff on Freenet and invoke "substantial non-infringing uses." (See my post in chat.) Napster's claim on that count was sunk by the fact that 85% of their stuff is copyrighted material.
