Will node-to-node encryption really help that much? The way I read it,
their algorithm looks something like
For all nodes n in known Freenet nodes
For all Bad Documents d in known Bad Documents
query n for d
if n responds, send ISP cease-and-desist letter
end for
end for
This seems to work as long as you know the ISP used by n and as long as
queries work even some of the time. Whether or not n had an encrypted link
with another node n' when passing along the query doesn't seem as
relevant.
