By illegal contents, are you referring to how somone posted a code signature similar to that of a virus so that antivirus software attacks the blockchain.

It's therefore a good idea there's a 40byte limit or a bitcoin node attacking virus could be placed in the code (and that would be a very good strategy)...

I mean, the last April-May issues and news with reports of pornographic images and illegal trade-related messages embedded in the blockchain.
Whereas those are stored as chunks of 40bytes of data using a specialized app to puzzle the image/text together.
(Such sophistication for a simple thing)
That must be an indirect attack by adversaries and I have only mentioned it as a possibility.

And... we're getting off-topic.

That's quite admirable, I assume they've paid quite highly to get that information all in one block or in subsequent blocks so in a way they're helping the network somewhere?

Does anyone know a legal standpoint on people hosting a blockchain that has people that add illegal content to it, I mean they're technically broadcasting illegal content unintentionally which looks as if it'll be a bit legally gray.

And yeah, a mod could do with splitting this topic if one's here.
