What we have failed to explore so far is an internet designed at the expense of copyright/rent-seeking.

Netflix doesn't need hardware attestation for bandwidth. It needs it as a chip to bargain with media corporations (including its own studios). It's been trivial to stream a torrent in 4K from the moment you got a fast enough link to your ISP.

If we design a system to efficiently copy data instead of trying to draw borders around it, then we won't have to have bots copying the same data over and over to make sure every island is thoroughly explored.
