I wonder if there could be a torrent site that is decentralized enough that no one really has significant liability for running it, like Bittorrent itself but for the indexing/curation aspect.
Sorry to stop your wondering, but I have an answer: yes. I created a peer-to-peer protocol for scalable, advanced and decentralized search engines. On top of this protocol, I created Admarus, a decentralized search engine for IPFS. If someone published a distributed torrent website on IPFS, it could get indexed on Admarus and could never be banned
Seems like a cool software. I only know a little about IPFS, could that search work to search for individual pages for torrents within such a site? Can IPFS do page updates that aren’t centrally controlled, ie. the initial publisher can’t actually shut it down or dictate what others can put on it?

I-Is this serious? This is literally what The Pirate Bay is now.
The Pirate Bay is decentralized and not run by any particular people/group? That’s news to me, and kind of hard to believe tbh, can you cite a source?
