> used DMCA takedowns to force removal from other blacklists

Could a hashed tld blacklist help? Each person downloads a unique hashed tld blacklist. Browser would calculate tld against list of hashes (or bloomfilters for what's worth)

In this case, what if a rule says

- domain starts with "functio"

- domain ends with "onalclam.com"

- domain is no longer than 18 bytes.

Instead of cleartext?

As the claim is regarding circumventing access control, I doubt the specific technical means by which it is blocked is relevant - Admiral's interpretation of the DMCA considers the outcome (the domain is blocked), not that the list includes a domain which they own.

How about split the blacklist into multiple entities (like Shamir's Secret Sharing) with absolute no affiliation with each other.

Each one downloaded can not block anything

But if a user combines some of the data, certain website gets blocked.

This time I really don't understand why you've been downvoted. Now it feels like some powerful users know something I don't, but they won't tell

Because it was a response to a statement that the result matters more than the implementation details that consisted of achieving the same effect by cleverly modifying the implementation..

I really meant something like this.

Result matters, but who's to attack when it's in fact the user who mixes some theoretically unrelated things to achieve such result? Sadly I know it wouldn't work in practice, but that's how I understood that comment

Three separate services, each hosting segments of a file that have to be put back together in some way. Either those three sites will have information on how to rebuild the file (revealing the reason they're hosting it in the first place), or there'll be a 4th party involved that provides the information. It starts looking like an organized conspiracy, if a court ends up looking at it. And that's the answer: The target companies file suit against whatever sites seem to be involved in the conspiracy.

Either that, or it ends up being so obscure that the target company(ies) never notice.

I see it as a kind of reductio ad absurdum.

You have an extra "o" in your string :)

I don't think so... "functionalclam.com" both begins with "functio" and ends with "onalclam.com"

Use a blockchain to store it.
