Also, weird judgement. Going all NIH on URIs, and yes I've read the threads about their "reasons" and they're nonsense, it was entirely a distraction from the project's core functionality. Infrastructure-tier service with a canonical implementation in a language that's no good for writing libraries and too inefficient to be always-on in embedded and probably even a bit iffy on mobile (mind, I like Go).
Anyway, I'm not sure how any kind of p2p system like that's gonna work for the average person and become mainstream when most consumer devices run on battery and drop off the network constantly to save power. Yes there are gateways but that kinda defeats the purpose. Seems better suited as a datacenter tool than something to ship out to normal end users.
At any rate it's not designed for anonymity, so its utility as a piracy tool is limited unless you're on a private IPFS network, which requires server resources.
