Some annotations: 1. The easiest way to make such a distributeted data havens (DDH) would be to use a distributed unix file system that doesn't distribute files but chunks of bytes. (Striping) Advantage: - All normal services would work: ftp,http,... - Copying, deleting and modifing files. - Easy to install and use. Problems: Because each side can supply all data (collecting on the fly from other DDHs), the site holder could be responsible for the data. This could be prevented by collecting and assembling data at the client side (e.g. using JAVA). 2. When the DDHs are distributed around the world in a lot of different states, it could be very difficult for any government to get any evidence for "illegal" data on one site. -- stephan
