Yes, P2P is not the web, but the general principle still applies -- I don't think that handing over the censorship keys to my ISP is a reasonable solution...
I dunno, an RSS type feed of bittorrent files which can be subscribed to would be useful. You could then just subscribe to certain content, implictly trusting that they're publishing sensible content (and filtering the content you seed your torrent with using tags or some such.) You could then subscribe to various projects' downloads and mirror appropriately. Of course, this could already be being done; I haven't any idea. :) Adrian
