The whole point of Retroshare is that you only connect to your trusted friends and route your teh warez requestz to other nodes through them. Retroshare is friend-to-friend, or F2F. It's not a closed darknet but it's a darknet. You need to have a friend (or preferably friends) through which to connect. The guy in question had the local equivalent of MAFIAA as a trusted F2F friend. That's a completely wrong position to begin with. This doesn't make Retroshare or darknets or F2F networks illegal. With friends, you can do whatever you want so as long as nobody gets hurt or the MAFIAA won't know about it.
