Does anyone know how well IPFS protects the privacy of individual users, given that any sort of P2P protocol is going to shift copyright liability for what they read or watch onto them?

So even if you use a VPN with it, if you are logged into a website that knows you, it could scan what you have saved from ipfs (among known IDs anyways)
