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 :)
