The RIAA isn't the police, so it doesn't need a search warrant. If it's
legal for me to browse through the RIAA's web site, it's legal for the
RIAA to browse through my Freenet node.
However, content requested through my node was not necessarily there to
begin with, so insisting that it be removed is a ridiculous act, and
should be interpreted as an attack on the network and not an attack on
the infringing data.
