I think that this is a very slippery slope to walk head down. Development could be caught in a quagmire for a long time trying to track down every single avenue that Freenet *content* could screw your anonymity. At some point you have to stop the hand-holding and realize that people who are doing things that require such absolute anonymity will be conscious enough to not use media players with such automagic features. The anonymity filter is great and all but the real focus should be on making Freenet, as a information transport mechanism, bullet-proof. fproxy (including the anonymity filter) is just one info retrieval client out of many and should be thought of as a separate project, IMO.

Hi, everyone.
I don't know if this has been realized before but in fact there seems to be a way to open up the winamp mini-browser when an MP3 file is played. All it takes for this is to put a text like "^/www.you-are-fucked.com/" in the comment field of the ID3 tag.
Should there be warnings on the download page for audio/mpeg files or files ending on .mp3 (if a filename is given)? Could the filter be adopted for it? ID3 tags might easily enough be filtered, I think.
So long,
David
