I would say it’s physically impossible to restrict what an individual can do, regarding basically anything, without severe restrictions in freedom. However you can make fierce penalties for entities and organizations that promote, advertise, profit, etc. from actions which has a tendency to reduce it happening.
For example it is trivially easy to film the TV at a bar, then tweet out the video of a sports game - millions do it every day. But if a company did that without the rights and earned money from it - an easy lawsuit.

- meheleventyone 5y agoIn these cases the miners and the orgs who run the blockchains are the vulnerable parties hosting the content. I suspect it flies below the radar for enforcement mostly because offending material is basically there as a stunt rather than a place used for active proliferation. In the same way Roblox is full of IP infringement.
- BlueTemplar 5y agoThe issue is that the damage here is almost irreversible - short of taking the whole blockchain down (which might be used as an excuse to do it ?). I guess that the penalties could be correspondingly high - like the difference between rendering someone temporarily unconscious versus killing them ?
