If someone hosts a JavaScript app on their webserver that accesses IPFS using WebRTC or something, won't they still get DMCA-bombed? It's not like these lawyers care where the files are actually hosted, and there are effectively no consequences for indiscriminate DMCA-ing.
Even if you make an IPFS browser extension, you could still get complaints and Google might still take it down, no? Are there any IPFS mobile apps that don't require sideloading?
You have a chance of getting away with anything else on the Web, but anger the Copyright Gods and there's nowhere you can hide.
- aaomidi 3y agoIpfs software is like BitTorrent. There’s no legal pathway to taking down the software. Only the gateways which aren’t necessary for IPFS. This is basically copyright holders sending DMCA to trackers. Trackers haven’t been necessary for using torrents but it makes them more accessible.
- gary_0 3y agoMy point was that easily accessible Web sites (or apps) that enable downloading will get mass DMCA'd regardless of the technicalities. You are correct that P2P networks themselves are generally more resistant to copyright attacks.
