I’m very much interested in finding out the answer the “blockchain vs the DMCA” question.
A node operator serving any copyright content (irrespective of it being served over HTTP or a DLT) is liable. What happens when Disney starts suing node operators? Your ISP still gets a notice right?
- lukeramsden 5y agoHow does DMCA handle steganography? For example, you could post hex-encoded bytes of a copyrighted image in a Facebook post - obviously a trivial example, but with a minor amount of effort and some more obtuse encoding it would be nigh-on impossible to tell otherwise. This is exactly what it looks like when putting copyrighted content on blockchains like on Ethereum. It's also _prohibitively_ expensive to store data on even alternative L1 chains.
- mattwilsonn888 5y agoThat's a compelling argument against a certain type of concern trolling I will forever more be ignoring, but what about the instance of node sabotage by uploading such data? What is the network to do to safe-guard itself from being forced to break laws?
