RE: DTube - The end of copyright enforcement
Well the vids are on IPFS, so they could maybe takedown the main website link, but if the source code of the website is distributed, you could just end up with 20 mirrors that all run the platform, and then use IPFS just like the system already uses to access vids.
right and IPFS is not to shutdown without disconnecting every electronic device it could potentially run on.
The nodes that host the files can have the files blocks wiped from their store, rendering the hash known but unviewable until the content is reentered into the ipfs network,
It's also possible to track down which nodes have a copy of the file and attempt contact the owners for removal.
Finally IPFS does have DMCA precautions however they seem to have never been used and due to FOSS, can be easily bypassed (not that I advocate this in anyway, just talking factually.)
