"Anonymous" File-Sharing Darknet Ruled Illegal By German Court

An anonymous reader writes "A court in Hamburg, Germany, has granted an injunction against a user of the anonymous and encrypted file-sharing network RetroShare. RetroShare users exchange data through encrypted transfers and the network setup ensures that the true sender of the file is always obfuscated. The court, however, has now ruled that RetroShare users who act as an exit node are liable for the encrypted traffic that's sent by others."

You must be Welsh. I show you something amazing, and you find fault with it. It would also explain the lack of manners.
