Which is bad because...? The only threat here is that a download site may 
watermark each download of the same song differently in order to identify 
where the leak came from. There's nothing we can realistically do about that 
at the node level, but it's not a direct threat, certainly not to the 
downloader-of-the-mp3-from-freenet.
