Somebody has to own the computers. You can sue those people if they don't comply with the law.

With well-implemented and sufficiently widespread P2P there’d be too many people to sue.

(I can’t name a strong contender in the wild currently, but I would also hope that this regulation, if successfully implemented, catalyzes some progress in this direction as a side effect.)

You just sue the early adopters and write some articles about how the new system is used for criminal activity only and then completely ban it. You can't have technological solutions to political problems.

Sure, maybe now that there's not a lot of fish left in the oceans anyways, you could start convincing the almighty VCs to pay for an army of solar powered submarine drone servers that host IPFS nodes with Starlink satellite uplinks randomly scattered in international waters...good luck engineering the < 1 second time-to-play on those videos!

No, technology is not a solution to regulatory issues.

That was my hope, I guess time will tell
