Copyright lawyers have already found IPFS. The old internet censorship works fine. IPFS produces a list of IP addresses that host content with a certain hash.
Download beemovie.mp4 or governmentsecrets.docx, hash it, and you find a list of all IP addresses that currently claim to host a copy. DMCA the lot of them, or go after their uplink through their ISP, and you'll take down most of the network. If that fails, you can pick out the home users and start your run-of-the-mill copyright lawsuits.
The concept of IPFS is great, but it's not uncensorable or private without the ability to run IPFS servers behind anonymization layers like Tor.
Just needs an anonymisation layer by the sounds, like dandelion for monero
This is what I was thinking about. My search engine will run over i2p and tor when available
