It might be just my opinion, but I think this is a problem with the legal system rather than with the protocol; NTFS doesn't have mechanisms for dealing with "abuse", why should IPFS?



You typically don't open NTFS to the world & if you do, don't be surprised if law enforcement comes knocking. The fact is, there's a lot of child porn on the web as an example and the fact is, if child porn is found on a server you host there's a good chance you will be taken through "legal hell" in many countries as a result.


No one exposes NTFS volumes to the open Internet. A sibling comment got it right, IMHO, that spam, and not illegal content is the real pitfall here.
