I will keep on saying this for as long as people don't get the message: I was going to give a detailed answer to your fascinating posts, but we cannot support anyone whom we have reasonable grounds to believe is using Freenet for copyright infringement or is likely to do so, as per Grokster vs MGM, and as per the EFF's legal advice to p2p devs. Convince me that you're not going to use Freenet to violate US/UK copyright law or I will ban you from the Freenet mailing lists. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
