To quote your paper: : Since the value of D can be overestimated by the attackers, : eventually the condition D < A is false and the mechanism : denies all subsequent download requests, causing a denial : of service. However, this seems to be interesting only in the : scenario where malicious peers try to harm the dissemination : of an authentic content. This is exactly what our attack model is. Think about the WikiLeak-like site, every malicious peers want to take it down. Freenet is designed to protect from censorship.
