Hmmmm for some reason I didn't think it showed the domain in the email address (else I might have used hotmail), though looking back I'm not quite sure where I got that idea from...... I personally work at the US Attorneys Office which does the prosecution rather then the investigation, and while the USAO would head up any investigation into arresting individuals it would be the FBI that would actually do the work to identify the users. So I'm just looking into freenet to satisfy my own personal interest. Also now while I can't comment (for obvious reasons) on possible investigations the office might be conducting, I can give you my personal opinion. I believe that freenet is still relatively safe from the recent crackdown on P2P child porn. Not because it can't be done, but simply because its just not as easy to ID offenders as on other networks. Networks like gnutella and kazza will literally give you a list of people committing a crime where as freenet would make you work for it. Its a simple cost benefit analysis. In the time it would take to prepare a case against a freenet user one could charge many times more kazza users (with the added benefit of not having to explain complex traffic analysis to a jury hehe). Right now, I think the most likely people to be snooping on freenet is @nsa.gov Again, this is just my personal opinion and does not reflect in anyway the US Attorneys Office.

When I see from "@usdoj.gov" in an email address, it really makes me wonder. Might the DOJ be interested in going after people for use of freenet or something? Considering the level of anonymity and such, I don't think anything would happen. But maybe just scoping things out? I could be completely wrong and perhaps someone at the DOJ is using freenet personally and using his government work email address for the mailing list, although I would tend to think that is somewhat irregular though who knows. Though I can think of more scary domains to be getting mail from... @cia.gov, @fbi.gov..... Just an element of curiosity on my part. Any comments anyone?
