Files are stored in multiple places and Storage Nodes will be asked to send files on a regular basis, for example, to ensure there is sufficient redundancy for a given file or if the end user wants to sync the files to a new computer.
The storage nodes also have no knowledge of who owns the file or what the contents are. Combined with the fact that they'd immediately stop getting paid for the other files they're hosting, it seems like the ROI for one of those evil nodes is pretty negative.
