Maybe that means only peer to peer systems without central servers are safe. There is no "server" and the data is everywhere but nowhere.

So now the police raid your house in the middle of the night because you accidentally seeded some bad content. /s
I joke, of course what would actually happen is your ISP would turn off your connection.

People are raided all the time for sharing illegal content, whether the act of sharing violates IP laws or the content itself is illegal.
Imagine having your home raided in the middle of the night because someone thought it would be funny to upload illegal content to your startup's servers. Now imagine being bankrupted and sent to prison afterwards.
