Hi, I read up on
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00230.html
but that still doesn't address an issue I was thinking about:

You were discussing that an ISP might shut you down if you provide
copyrighted content. I'd like to go one step further:
Node operators *will* be sent to jail because of data on their harddrive.
If the following stuff has already been discussed somewhere, please provide
me with a reference.

Even if you'd choose to encrypt your store, once the black hats have a
reason to seize your machine, they can run PrintKeys on your store (perhaps
peeking the keys from a currently running instance of freenet_server) and
off you go.

Any thoughts on this issue? Currently, I really can't recommend running
a Freenet node in Germany. Last time I checked up on current events involving
such things, it seemed that an ISP's operator can be arrested for storing
illegal material on his proxies hard disk. Although IANAL, I think the
same will apply here.
