We don't know that, until now there was not even one court decision about OFFS or similar system, at least I never heard about it.
Is it even remotedly close to torrent popularity? Is there any certainty it should be very popular? If not, it means there are more urgent things to care about while the resources for enforcing copyright law are limited.
No, it's not, hence the request to add it or similar functionality to eMule and slowly move all files and users to the new network. No other anonnymous P2P network can offer that and as soon as eMule would have it I'm pretty sure that quite a few users from those networks and also some torrent users will switch to eMule. The users will go there, where they feel them most safe, where the probability to get caught is the smallest. It's not completely safe to download from one click hosters as well, still, if someone can get a file over classical P2P or OCH, he'll currently probably go with OCH and that not just because of the speed.
And BTW, IMHO security should be pretty much on top of the todo list.

You can safely accept that there is no total anonymity in the net; and that the law could be changed. You can make it harder to get you, but that's all.
I know there's no total anonymity, but you can get pretty close to that, VPNs prove that. And making it (a lot) harder is good enough to start with, as soon as it costs more for them to find a user than they can get out of him after that, all the lawyers currently doing nothing else than sending out letters to P2P users will have to find a new hobby. And speculations about future changes in law are pretty much pointless, at least as long as we don't get around the current ones.

Without having read all of that "Rechtsgutachten" (tl;dr) just the frank reminder that any kind of expert report does not necessarily correspond to what judges will make of the current situation.
Sure, but is that a reason not even to try?
