You would not have a connection to opennet at all, thus you would have no
opennet refs to route. In the situation described it can easily be turned off.

It would be very easy to see what somebody has downloaded on a particular
machine by examining the datastore. For example: You sit at the machine and
download a large file, then i sit at it and start downloading and notice that
the download flies (it loads from the datastore not from other nodes), i can
then conclude that you (or somebody before you) have downloaded it. In the
situation where somebody may have access to your datastore it is essential to
never cache local requests.

This is impossible to answer without you giving the country. Let's look at
Russia for example, here it is technically illegal, but in most places is almost
as legal as marijuana in holland. While there are laws against it, police is
more interested in taking bribes from foreigners with no papers or beating up
people. I know of several ISPs which host SHA keys of all the films, tv shows,
etc. for download from their private DC++ network.
