But if your pointer replaces a legitimate pointer with the same name, the file pointed to by the legitimate pointer will drop off the network due to lack of requests. It would be easy to censor MP3s, for example, by changing any KSK containing the string "mp3" that passed through your node to point to a nonexistent document. Unlike a black hole attack, your immediate neighbour would receive a file that looked OK so it wouldn't route around you.
