Says who?  Data will fall out, yes, but not to the disastrous extent that
it currently is.  Thats a bug.  If you can mathematically show me that
compression is useful, fine.  Analyze the data stored on Freenet and come
up with a number on how much data is compressable versus how much
isn't.  I think you'll be amused.
