You might be interested to note the IPFS DMCA policy:

- rnhmjoj 9y agoThis is irrelevant because ipfs.io may act as a proxy but content is stored somewhere on the network and accessible via IPFS.
- lqdc13 9y agoStill need some proxy for it to be accessible from the internet right?
- rnhmjoj 9y agoNo, you don't need one: you are supposed to run your own IPFS node. There are even browsers that supports IPFS out-of-the-box.
- detaro 9y agoIf by "internet" you mean your browser/over HTTP, then yes. But the IPFS client provides exactly that, on your local machine, without any restrictions. If you offer it to the public, you can choose your own policy on copyrighted etc. content.
- lqdc13 9y agoI mean it's unusable to the general public since IPFS network is not accessible via the browser without a proxy. In other words, one would first have to integrate an IPFS client into all major browsers.
