Ask HN: Anonymous p2p possible?

Since this week the Dutch government passed a law which makes it possible to allow torrent users to be identified by monitoring ISP traffic. Uploading files can result in fines of 12.500 euro's.

Are there any alternatives to torrents, or anonymous torrents I can use?

If only out of principle. No government or law will tell me what I read, watch or share...

https://www.tribler.org/ seems to be some kind of alternative, needs momentum however. More of these initiatives?

Pigeons have proven themselves over the centuries, but I'll take a look at Seedboxes!
