I'm not enirely sure what a darknet is, but I think it refers to filesharing networks. It used to refer to private networks, like peer to peer but now I think it refers to any network devoted to filesharing. In my mind at least, it also has connotations of illegal filesharing ot attempts to circumvent laws.
I think what Giggleton was referring to was that if we did track all files to try to compensate artists there would still be networks setup that would share unmarked or untrackable files, thus preventing the creators from being compensated.
