So how will you cope with DMCA takedown requests and what will you do when all major medias companies will sue your ass? You may try to pretend it is not your content and explain how the protocol works and all that but as long as you will host a frontend and own the domain name you will be considered the one to sue.

How does Bitcoin cope with the fact that the DVD key (and probably a few other interesting things) are stored on the blockchain?

  It copes by whoever did that being anonymous. The same method as any other unsolved “crime”. In terms of network persistence of the data, it would be a gargantuan and fruitless effort to go after every bitcoin node operator on the planet in every jurisdiction they operate in. So Bitcoin copes by its very evasive design.

  because "bitcoin.com" isn't running the blockchain, responsibility is diffused. OPs point is even with distributed infrastructure, the portal serving end users has a name and address attached so legal departments know who to serve.

Yep. Same problems as torrent trackers and search engines. Even only having magnet links did not save site operators.

  Torrent search engines still exist, DMCA notwithstanding.

    However I doubt they are hosted at Vercel in the USA. And that is without even mentionning child porn.

    Yes, but people aren’t building dependencies on them. If you’re unable to use hosting in the top countries, that’s going to complicate any attempt to build an actual business or get people to use a community project.

      But the beauty here is that you don't have to run a business or host a community project. You can have a local client that connects to N relays and supports a few NIPs. And if one of the relays goes down for whatever reason - you will still be able to get updates from the others. Including information about new relays.

        Yes, that’s the dream but it hasn’t worked out for most usage because few people are going to spend their time and money hosting other people’s content. If you want it to stay up or have dependable service, you almost always have to pay for hosting.
