I'm just waiting for someone to build a searchable distributed index for bittorrent that connects you not with a peer but with a hop that just happens to be on the network. The people who actually have the files don't ever connect to the people they're sending it to directly. This network is self-aware enough that fast seeds tend to connect to fast hops and slow to slow. You pay a throughput penalty but you get a massive "security" boost.
Of course, the legitimate reason to be on this network is a tor-like "to help dissidents access files they're blocked from".
Seeing the *AAs trying to litigate that would be something.
