Perhaps you're right, but perhaps DMCA takedowns are a preferred alternative to what the MPAA does in other situations, like the Kim Dotcom raid in NZ.

Other areas that could be used would be like Tor and IPFS.

Tor is anti-censorship but can be a SPOF.

IPFS provides full identity of machine to the network (internal and external IPs), but is highly redundant and resistant to single attacks.

And IPFS refuses to mainline work for Tor/I2P... So it still spits out every adapter to the world. Yes, even your internal non-routable addresses.
