extract from http://www.wired.com/news/technology...,56063,00.html
"Like its more popular peer-to-peer cousins Kazaa and Gnutella, Freenet allows people to exchange files over the Internet through a shared network.
But unlike other networks, Freenet's creators say they designed the application with free speech, not free entertainment, in mind. The software provides a forum for anonymous publication, using data encryption and a decentralized network designed to prevent shutdown by anyone -- unfriendly governments, ISPs and even the network creators themselves."
Isn't this how skynet started? Free speech is all well and good but a network than no-one can control? That can only be bad news.
