Depends - it should win out for speed and ease of use. But anonymity, no, in order for a user to possess certain content, they have to download it explicitly and know they're sharing it. It's trivial to know who visits a given website and, for example, send DMCAs to all of them. Freenet prevents this in multiple ways - proxying your connections through others and using encryption to prevent those without the keys from reading the data or even knowing what it is. Freenet probably provides the best anonymity of any current network as it's done in such a way that once a file is on the network, there's just no way to trace it back to its source. The people using Play on it might find themselves in some fun legal issues soon, depending on country. You could use it over Tor I suppose - that's what the authors propose, but that seems less than optimal to me and doesn't even approach the sort of anonymity Freenet could. |
