Although the idea is great but I'm not comfortable with the legal implications of "seeding" the stuff I view. It might work in some legislations but I'd be putting myself in too much risk under my local law.

What if everyone "seeded" random content that others are browsing? Sort of like a Tor Relay for P2P traffic. Everyone assumes some small responsibility and yet could argue plausible deniability.

I believe Freenet and IPFS are both built on this idea.
