The Long, Slow Decline of BitTorrent (2017)

I volunteer myself and some of my servers to run software to support Wikipedia, Sci-Hub, The Pirate Bay etc if I can do it and have some safeties in place: - Everything encrypted all the time, I have none of the keys - ... I guess I'd just want to be reassured I'm legally and practically safe.

Are there any projects like this already?

In another thread someone mentioned PopcorntimeXSci-hub which sounds about right with maybe some Tor sprinkled in, and I have seen http://sciencefair-app.com/ (Encouraging but very early).

Would you run encrypted hosting for Wikipedia|Sci-Hub|PirateBay?

It's written on NodeJS. I have a very hard time believing in a systems project written in JavaScript.
