stevens37··on RIAA Obtains Subpoenas Targeting 40 YouTube-Ripping Platforms and Pirate Sites
Once (~10-15y ago) I was thinking about a OTP based "2 component glue file sharing solution". You take a piece of data (audio,video), generate a real random one time pad then make an XOR delete the original and share the 2 random files using any media or network. Then share also the info that this and that files are the 2 component glue.
