Hi, Aside from the issues of law at play here (I most certainly am not a lawyer...) you *must* remember that Freenet is not secure enough to be used as such a distribution mechanism. It has been clearly shown that there is a theoretical possibility to identify "anonymous" uploaders to Freenet - would you be prepared to risk having ``them'' coming after you? The solution as I see it is to simply move away from all major Western countries and go live in our own Kingdom - maybe ``Debian World'', a new offshore platform with fat bandwidth...it's been done but it'd be fun :) --jcm
