Be warned that IPFS is not anonymous, and the IP addresses of the nodes serving the content are quite easily obtainable. And since the FBI already got involved and arrested people, this is quite the risky endeavor.

Another warning: IPFS is extremely resource intensive (from CPU to bandwidth) . I’m pretty disappointed they didn’t mention this in the article. If this gets any traction it will eat as much CPU and bandwidth you give it. Running with Docker and limiting CPU is necessary along with a bandwidth limiter/policer/shaper.

ISP get complaints from copyright mafia and forwards it to the user but the ISP isn’t allowed to share the user details with the copyright mafia. That’s why these emails always try and entice you to click a link and settle the cr…

Does anyone know if this dataset happens to include any pre-1925 published works, that might not have made it to the Internet Archive yet? I have no idea whether the publication metadata that they have is even good enough to address such questions in the first place.
