Does in freenet prevails the rule of the strongest?
If I have money, wants to make available my propaganda materials on 
freenet and put out my political enemyes, I can "simply" put up a 
cluster of computers with high bandwidth to iteratively request my 
propaganda.
My portion of popularity would grow up, and my content will steal disk 
space to other publisher's.

Is my political opponent more rich than me? Well, it will put up TWO 
clusters, and double the b/w.

Slowly, the only way to publish something in freenet would be to set up 
at minimum a very powerfull server to autorequest my material.
The fight will grow up, and at the end... only usual big ones will 
remain capable of publishing their content on "free"net, because any 
other content would be considered not enougth "popular" to be stored on 
the distributed disk...
