Uh-oh. Misconception alert.
While there is a Freenet organization, they only make the software. And IIRC, it's only incorporated in one country (although the *network* is international). It's probably an anonymous user somewhere who posted the Diebold documents. (I know everyone here knows this. Just leading up to it.)
This could lead to the dangerous idea that the Freenet organization is somehow responsible for all content on the Freenet network. Of course, any Freenet user knows otherwise, but that won't stop the pundits.

Last week the advocates' efforts to keep the documents online took another step as Freenet, an international anticensorship organization that promotes the anonymous distribution of files, obtained copies of the Diebold documents. The technology that the network uses is a peer-to-peer service, and is similar in many ways to the software behind file-trading companies like Kazaa and the original Napster.
