So by your logic if our drug carrier only transports drugs in a locked box he's untouchable? And we are assumeing that the police have cracked freenet, other wise all of this is moot anyway.  Since they couldn't charge you if they didn't know what you did. If you wiped out your datastore you

To be charged you do indeed need a specific crime.  We have to assume that if your being arrested that freenet traffic flow has been intrecepted and broken. In which case you would be chaged with a specific incident that was intercepted while monitoring your trafic. Your correct.  If the gove

Well the reason that the common argument is illegal pornography is because it is one of the few peices of infomation that is totaly illegel.  Everything from how to build a nuke to why you'd like to see Bush dead is legal.  But not KP, it has a very unique status.  And the reason people don'

This doesn't have anything to do with act being more probable then the other. You aren't responsable for the entire network; only what your node is doing. Just because you can't see what your node is doing doesn't excues anything. Running freenet is not a civial libertiy.   Laws are not made

If you honestly belive that you could convince a jury that the government put KP on freenet just to entrap you  thats pretty sad.See in the courts you need a little thing called evidence.  Good luck finding some that shows the government is out to discredit freenet.   And how would you
