What I meant is:
Evil Bad Guy (no relation to Mr. Bad): A-ha! I found a freenet node! now I
will request MSK@illegalporndepot//kiddie.html through it and then use it to
justify burning down a village/shooting the node operator/getting his ISP to
pull his account.
Freenet Node: (doesn't say anything because EBG isn't on the allowed hosts
list)
EBG: Foiled Again! Oh, well, I guess I'll give up now.
Not too likely, eh? Once they a) find your node within their sphere of
influence b) acquire enough power to ruin your life c) stop being controlled
by whatever 'rules' may apply, the technical details of node behavior become
irrelevent: If they want you, they're going to get you.
