See https://github.com/ipfs/faq/issues for comparisons to existing systems. The plan is for IPFS to be able to transparently integrate with the existing web, e.g. https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs.

There will be incentives in the future, both in terms of promoting a good seeding/leeching ratio like bittorrent ("bitswap"), as well as http://filecoin.io/

Not yet, but this is planned: http://filecoin.io/

1) The plan is to incentivise people with schemes like http://filecoin.io/ 2) Yeah, I'll admit the asymmetric nature of home internet is a bit of a hassle. I suspect you'll still require machines on the backbone s

Re your first question, see https://github.com/ipfs/notes/issues/40 In terms of revoking access rights, that's not really a problem unique to IPFS (cf. DRM)

By pushing the logic into the client. See https://github.com/ipfs/apps/issues and https://github.com/ipfs/notes/issues/40 for example.

Internet != Web. The Internet isn't broken, HTTP is.

Yes, by using DNS TXT records. For example, the main ipfs.io website is actually just proxying https://ipfs.io/ipns/ipfs.io/

Possibly naive question: How does this compare to qml/qtquick?

The upside is less battery drain from long-distance data connections. But yes, it's not a panacea.

This isn't freenet where you have no control over what you store. If you have an objection to certain content, you don't have to store it. It's only permanent so long as at least one person is willing to distribute it.

1) Content is verified by its hash 2) Not yet, but I believe "commit history" functionality is planned

Brewster Kahle (IA founder) has expressed a public interest in IA acting as a seeder for distributed websites, so IA definitely still has a place.

On the other side of the coin, I'd say mobile clients offer more opportunities for local p2p distribution (Bluetooth, etc)

I find it interesting that people complain about Haskell's monadic IO, and yet nodejs event-driven IO is arguably the same idea but without the syntactic sugar.
