- throwaway8388 3mo agoWell, badbits are only enforced on the centralized http gateways. LibGen CIDs would still resolve fine using the DHT as the decentralised discovery mechanism
- msm_ 3mo agoI don't know, it looks pretty decentralised to me? >The purpose of this list is to allow IPFS node operators (e.g. someone running a public IPFS gateway) to opt into not hosting previously flagged content. IPFS node operators, who are supposedly interested in hosting malicious content (and i2p-hosted phishings are a real problem) can OPT INTO using this list. In this case, I don't see how that's any problem for piracy - people can just use one of the bad/unfiltered nodes.
- RobotToaster 3mo agoThe fact that it's entirely binary, and they don't separate someone copying books from malware isn't helping that argument.
