"This tool basically creates a p2p world wide web, where each person functions as a node, and stores and distributes information
from other
nodes. One can insert data into Freenet and retrieve information without fear of being censored.
What makes this tool principally different than other p2p tools is, among other things, that it places anonymity first. Your ISP or the
government can't
read what you've inserted or retrieved."
- Invisible IRC Project
"This is a new IRC network that is anonymous. You can chat on this network without fear of being censored or having your opinions
monitored by the police or the government."
- Java Anonymity Project
"A distributed proxy which allows you to browse the regular internet anonymously. One should be aware, however, that the German
government
recently ordered this project to put in a backdoor so the police could see if some people were
accessing illegal websites. This backdoor has been recently removed though, while awaiting a judicial inquiry into the service, so while
JAP may be
anonymous at the moment, it is best to use special care, as one never knows when the
government has secretly ordered the project to monitor connections."

OA "literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. OA removes price barriers
