It is a particular piece of content or a group category of content? You may not be liable if you are hosting The Illiad or some other public domain work, how much you (can?) choose or be aware of which pieces of contents you are hosting, if we are not talking about the whole collection?
- dale_glass 4y agoYeah, you can pin specific pieces of content, and pin recursively. But what's the point in doing this for legal content? You can just get the Illiad from the Gutenberg Project.
- gmuslera 4y agoEvery year there are books that end into public domain, either because they were published long enough or they were released in that way recently. Are every one of them in the Gutenberg project? Some of those book even are in their own github project, but it would be nice to have them somewhere, and maybe in a way that could resist censorship o blocking. Or other things than books, like projects or research released in public that some commercial platform centralizes and put a price tag to access them.
- acdha 4y agoIPFS probably isn’t the platform for anyone worried about censorship: it gives searchers the IPs hosting specific files which they can either pursue or block depending on whose jurisdiction they fall under.
- zozbot234 4y agoSure, but so does BitTorrent and they were previously using just that. A comparison of the two technologies is interesting regardless.
