Hmm. Which kind of breach exactly? If you have a confiscated store, and you have previously searched for and found illegal content, then you can prove that it was in the store if it is present. Simply because it has to be stored in a form that the node can read. -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
