@wowaname @princessgentoo magnet links are already decentralized, if you linked them on pages hosted on IPFS, they'd be fully decentralized. It's too bad webtorrent doesn't do this.

@petit @wowaname @princessgentoo no, you're right, it's not supported by browsers yet, there's an official ipfs-js project that after years still can't bootstrap. I'm not too bothered that other technology is needed though, because bitorrent needs extra non-browser software too.

@wowaname @princessgentoo mutable torrents plus RSS could be the data layer for all of that. You could have groups publish their torrents, you could subscribe to other mutable torrent rss feeds that rate or review different torrents, and a frontend that coalesces that data like metacritic.

@petit @wowaname @princessgentoo I can interpret your statement in a couple different ways, I am confused so I'll try to clarify my thinking to see if it addresses what you are saying.
You can host an RSS feed on a torrent itself. An individual's Torrent frontend can subscribe to critics they like, who will publish machine-readable ratings. The frontend can amalgamate the information, making like a site like rottentomatoes or metacritic. There's nothing left for the MPAA or whomever to issue takedowns to, except peers, which is an inherent bittorrent problem anyway.
