Just to clarify this last point: I'm not anti-police. I'm not pro-criminality. The point is that breaking Freenet is easy, and if our police can do it, so can evil corporations (not all corporations are evil), and forces of oppression in unpleasant countries. There is a market in exploits; these things are likely for sale in the right places, or at least they will be as soon as Freenet is big enough for there to be any demand.
