Hmm....I wasn't suggesting IPFS replace local storage, I was thinking more along augmenting access to the calibre library via IPFS.

I definitely concede that this is definitely an issue, and I didn't think of it initially as a deal-breaker. I know for a fact that many, if not most, of my library definitely would fall under the category of copyright infringement if it were to become freely and publicly accessible to anyone.

My intention wasn't at all to promote piracy at all. Thanks for the heads up!
Disclaimer: I AM NOT PROMOTING PIRACY OF COPYRIGHTED MATERIALS THROUGH ONE'S CALIBRE LIBRARY.
This was just a proof-of-concept question. For example, if my entire library was comprised of my own IP, and I would want to make it accessible via IPFS with a Calibre "front-end" to manage the assets, then the rest of this thread applies. I am not condoning that one leverage this for materials that would otherwise be considered piracy.
