As strange as that thought-experiment was, I think it gives a good case "when you have something to hide" and the communication is that for broadcast publishing. But let us not forget what I consider to be more common use case (for which we are not optimized and has nothing to do with child porn)... I have a friend, and would like to communicate with him/her "securely" in an email or instant-message like way. It may be that Freenet cannot "win" in the p2p paranoia market until it makes that workflow trivial (and then gets better content in the p2p storage/publication realm as people later explore this other "free" functionality). As there are other mechanisms that beat freenet hands-down in this area in terms of required setup. -- Robert Hailey
