The law would apply whether you are aware or not of the nature of the content you are storing IF you have "reasonable indication that what you store can indeed be unlawful". If you participate in such a "ring", so to speak, you cannot pretend ignorance as to what logically will be one of the main uses, if not the main use of such network. The main point is that you are willingly participating in a network that expressly facilitates the distribution of such materials. Now if you want to believe that it will be above the law and therefore you cannot be held accountable, you choose that assumption much the same way you choose to assume that driving at 90 mph in a 60 zone won't result in consequences.

In answering you last question, it is in the GEMS OP. And no, it isn't integration, it's leasing the STORJ network.
"The main point is that you are willingly participating in a network that expressly facilitates the distribution of such materials."
Can you please support this statement with some sort of legal brief or existing court case? We have existing legal precedent in Tor as brandoff stated.
I know some of Tor guys, so if you want to PM me your email perhaps we could ask the guys who actually deal with this on a daily basis.
