My personal solution of choice would also be defunding, but I believe this 
needs some help to happen.

I was thinking (and I'm sure somebody else also got the idea) that maybe 
combining ideas from Tor with ideas from BotTorrent might be a way to go. 
Distribute the stuff people access among people accessing it and it becomes 
harder to do timing attacks, and the network might work a bit faster too.

However, it's basically running full speed into one of the two hard problems 
in IT -- cache invalidation. So, I don't know.
