I think this is overly bleak. Bittorrent exists and works since 20 years. And this is something that is more of a threat to commercial interests than e.g. a decentralized social network.
Also what kind of attitude is this? Government is too powerful, we might as well give up. Where's the fun in that. It is hard but also very rewarding.
Bittorrent is legally dangerous in quite a lot of countries where copyright is politically important issue, so as I see it the example supports my thesis.

That's not what I wrote. My note is about proper understanding of real threats and obstacles.
