The Freenet Project
"Freenet is a really interesting project, an interesting fallout of broadband. A few years ago, the Internet was a young and wild medium. Then corporations took over. The Net is still young and some part of it are still wild, but there are becoming harder to find as corporations and politicians slowly understand the potential of free communication and distributions of ideas. Some learned it the hard way. But with the development of broadband, it is now possible to develop a new “homegrown” network, with “built-it” protections against repression. I guess that very few corporations and politicians understand fully the implications of broadband and of peer-to-peer applications."

- it seems to me one of the most interesting aspects of freenet is the concept of a unique ID for every file, somewhat like usenet. On the web, documents can be altered anytime and it is also full of broken links, also full of advertising and commercial junk, which has nearly ruined it. All you want is the original file, the original text.
