The Freenet Project, involves a way to organise the distribution of information anonymously across computer networks in order to ensure anonymity. Now Clarke is being set up by NYT journalist John Markoff as a target of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) with claims that Freenet is not about freespeech and anonymity, but actually about trading copyrighted material.
