The DOJ would just have the website host, the ISP, or the domain registrar revoke and terminate everything


Ya, the pirate bay is still online, so too innumerable similar sites once targeted by various agencies. A smallish map running on a RP plugged into tor would be very resiliant. But there is a bittorent protocol that allows for rolling updates to a torrent. That would be the best way to distribute kml files imho.


What’s this updatable BitTorrent protocol? I wished for something like this years ago as an auto-updating torrent for downloading Wikipedia with live (or daily or whatever) changes.

They were called mutable torrents. A private key would allow the originator to push out updates via dhts.


this is really neat. I've been looking for this sort of functionality with IPNS, but it seems like bittorrent could be better. Do clients implement this yet?


It has been 15+ years since i looked into it. I do remember using it with transmission so it may be out there already.


In practice this seems much more difficult to do than going after the app in the app store, particularly if you choose your registrar and hosting provider carefully.
