This is not as distributed as you might believe.
The content itself is distributed, which creates privacy challenges of its own, but control over that content is centralized. If we want automatic updates of the index, we're still relying on a single party to provide them. That single party might respond to DMCAs, remove/censor content etc.
- AnHonestComment 6y agoWhy can’t I have multiple source DBs? Each has a torrent with an author, but I query both and then run extra SQL over the results. There’s already data fusion and torrent indexing technologies; it seems like this creates a way for users to have many providers.
