Am I missing something? I don't see any mention of a blacklist in that thread. They did close it because of course, they don't want to be in Limewire's position, where they get held responsible for the tech they built because they supported, even in a minor way, its use in piracy.

Just to clarify what josu means here:

> they've

The IPFS Forum - Run by Protocol Labs

> decided to blacklist

Banned discussions around breaking the law on a public internet property owned by a US company.

None of this concerns the protocol itself, which you are free to use for whatever you want, just like HTTP.
