Because we are discussing legality, I want to point out that you just aggregated and published these links, the developers of the OpenBazaar software did not. So if a crime is being committed here, which of you is more likely to be committing it?

Send me a DMCA request, I'll take them offline, like Google and other websites do.

Does OpenBazaar do this? Probably not.

Are all these people anonymous on IPFS?

Probably somewhat because they're behind VPNs or proxies, at least that's what I hope they do if they're offering things like above.

Will this stop law enforcement?

No, it will not: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/10/08/vpn_logs_helped_unm...

There's a slim chance you or HN could receive a DMCA takedown notice, but sending OpenBazaar developers such a DMCA notice would be as foolish as sending Google Chrome developers a DMCA notice demanding they delete the comment you posted or the pages you linked to. Would that work?

You should also be informed that DMCA is not relevant to over half of your links. Its target is copyright circumvention, not narcotics sales etc.

The individuals allegedly selling those possibly illegal things could receive legal actions like DMCA and narcotics laws, and even you might for linking to them. But I was not talking about those individuals, only the irony that you are at greater legal risk than the OpenBazaar developers.

Yes because the Silk Road developers were just running a marketplace and bore zero responsibility for how it was being used.

History disproves your disingenuous comments.

This comment seems to suggest that your're unaware of the big difference between OpenBazaar and the Silk Road, which is why you believe my comments about legality are disingenuous and irrelevant.

The most important issue is that OpenBazaar is software and the other was a service based around a website.

Why do you comment so confidently and enthusiastically, when you apparently understand so little?

You should be right imho, but neither you nor antagonist knows how the laws of various countries will eventually rule on OB. Is it a platform or is it just software? ... TBD

zaggynl posts clear evidence that OpenBazaar is being used for illegal and immoral purposes, and instead of addressing his point you snipe irrelevantly about link aggregating.
