Have the legal notice as part of the Gnutella License agreement (have servants do this during install?). The agreement would absolve all servant's users from responsibility saying something like:
"By using the Gnutella network, you agree to the following - You may only download file(s) that you are legally entitled to own. The Gnutella network is here to share files for educational purposes, and for the legal transfer of information. If you are downloading a file, you are stating that you legally own a licence for the product, you know the software is freeware.... bla bla bla".

Can't speak for other servants, but I do know Gnotella already has this.

My servant could be set up to varify that you have "Pre-Agreed" to the generic disclaimer before I send a file to you. I think this "blanket" disclaimer would be easier than having a disclaimer pop up every time I want to download a file from another server.... just say "I agree" once and be done with it.
Furthermore, this will also keep abuse down. Because if every user sent a disclamer, it won't be long before some smart a** starts sending 'check out my porn site' notices when you try to download a file.

You are absolutly right, this feature does have the potential to be used for the wrong reasons. I had not thought of that side. Good point. I suppose if the message were 'built-in' and gave the user no chance to modify it then that
might work.
