Considering that you are running a piece of software of which you have
no idea what it is doing, that is by definition connected to the
network and that has full access to all your data and system, how
exactly are you careful about your security?

I recommend you take a look at some of the legislation around DRM and
copyright, in particular. Robin will know more about this than me, but
to my knowledge the EFF had quite some fun with legal attacks against
anonymisers where the individual nodes also had no idea of what they
were transporting.
