You don't need to monitor every byte at every hop along the path, simply at the point where the user connects to the network.

Simple economics, freenet 0.5 hasn't shown that its worth blocking yet. $1k/ISP plus N smart-coder-hours plus J support hours plus legislation is more expensive than blacklisting a website plus someone running a sniffer, browsing Freenet's source, or looking at one of those commercially available network identification tools which already can identify Freenet. =jr -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD4DBQFDTUIjWYfZ3rPnHH0RAtxSAJ0ZVvKPEB2aQxsguxpmQti4/mQDsACXXlYm lOkqlFlzuNBlzfQ6wtx6XQ== =64+R -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
