From the text: "...it is community itself that has ultimate controls over the catalogue of what is available."

I take that to mean that this isn't really controllable by DMCA. So, they are just giving DMCA lip service.

Lofty goals of that sort are fine, and easy to write about, but I wonder how the situation will change when someone inevitably uploads $MOVIE -- and for a fee! -- and the movie studios come knocking. Indeed, I do not expect (or hope!) that LBRY will act to evade copyright or IP law.

The point is, complete lawfulness and blockchain utopias aren't really compatible.
