I guess these URL's never is delivered between freenet clients. It is just something people *know*, and is then able to decrypt the files. Very nice :) The reason I asked, was if I could get into legal trouble if I had illegal files on my computer. But with the URL as an ekstra password, I can not directly decrypt the data I have on my local drive. And the one making a claim, has to know the excact url and the hash to know that I have illegal content. Oh, man. It will be a very exciting time, when the first cases of freenet comes to the court. If they can get one person ruled guilty, freenet will be illegal with one foul swoop. > You > can look at your datastore - it is not encrypted, it is all in files > under dirs under the store dir, but you will not be able to get much > information out of it short of spidering freenet and identifying a few > (certainly not all) files... > > If this is possible, it is also possible to sort malicious content out > > of my node. > It is entirely possible for you to delete files from your datastore, but > as I said above, it would be difficult to find out what they were.
