I would ask the people that is so worried about illegal content to go ask a lawyer instead of posting their worries here, or at least before posting.

You sound like you do not appreciate the fact that people are posting their worries here. If you ask me, THAT makes no sense!

This is an open forum created to discuss crypto-currencies and it seems like that's exactly what we are doing here. This thread is design to receive commentary from all sorts of people, some are going to be good, and some are going to bring attention to all sorts of problems. The very success of DTC depends on people doing that.

How can one fix a problem, if one does not know the problem exists?

If DTC has no real issue with hosting illegal content, why so many people seem to avoid discussing this topic? If DTC has no problem with illegal files, why you suggest I should not post my worries here, and instead get in touch with a laywer? THAT makes no sense whatsoever!

Am I the only one talking about that issue? You only need to read the thread to see how many people mentioned the illegal files issue. The truth is that as long as people like you keep treating these worries as a minor inconvenience, you will keep pushing people away from DTC.

If my suggestion sound non-sensical to you, then something else must be done to bring those people like me to your side. If one can convince me that the illegal issue is not really an issue, I will promptly invest and promote the coin. Until now, none of the arguments were strong enough to accomplish that.

Perhaps, what this community really needs is a group of lawyers to come here, and add their own two cents on the topic. Do you know any that would do that?

See this: http://www.reddit.com/r/Datacoin/comments/1tvwhu/if_i_run_a_datacoin_node_and_somebody_uploads/cecdi4e

Now the point is that you cant have a decentralized storage system and someone to also police it. it cant happen. Simple as that. And if Datacoin will ever be illegal because of illegal stuff on the blockchain the same can happen for bitcoin. Definition of what is illegal and what is not is very broad. If a country says that bitcoin is illegal will you still use it or not? There are prime numbers that are illegal. Why? If you want answers read the whole thread here and also on reddit. And indeed talking to a lawyer is the best thing you can do indeed. But i am not sure he will easily be able to answer too. It depends on many things and how aggressive a goverment wants to be...

Edit because of your post: But if you ask about legality it doesnt matter if noone is looking at bitcoin or not. You are asking if it is illegal or not. Or i could answer you that you will never probably get arrested for storing the blockchain where others put something illegal...if you know what i mean..
