Many of these moral questions are already answered in the Freenet FAQ or mailing lists. Here's a more technical question. I'm concerned about the scalability of the distributed network. A lot of experimentation and parameter tweaking will need to be done before the system enables popular and useful files to be quickly accessed from anyplace on the net. How confident are you that a Freenet network will actually function in a useful way? What experiments have you done, apart from the one in the white paper? Have you performed a mathematical analysis of the protocol? I believe in the ideas behind Freenet. Now convince me that the software will work.
