alt Hacker NewsIf google push too hard, someone will make a "youtube mirror" - ie. a complete copy of youtube at a different domain.
The actual data could be hosted p2p across all the users devices, and any missing data retrieved one-time-only from real youtube servers.

Has there ever actually been a success story for using end user mobile handsets as servers?

Sounds like a Pied Piper app.

Do you have an estimate of how much would be needed to mirror?
BTW PeerTube is a thing.

I guess you never received a copyright infringement notice from your ISP for seeding a torrent.
That website will have an IP address and a registered owner. Taking down piracy websites is routine for governments, server providers, and domain registrars now, and they don't care whether the site is actually illegal. You can only get away with this long-term if the site is hosted in Russia, but Russia is sanctioned so how will you pay them?
