Maybe we could build a distributed Github you can’t just delete with something decentralized and versioning, like Hypercore protocol or IPLD (InterPlanetary Linked Data), Ceramic Network?
About legality: that’s (japanese) Nintendo using US media laws gone rogue to swipe repos on a US hoster (Github). Maybe don’t use a US hoster next time.
And yeah, Europe isn’t much better there.
You can host it on servers outside of their jurisdiction or with laws that better protect or prevent companies abuse. Anyone can host git is the point, you dont have to use GitHub.
Presumptuous and incorrect. They have made a big dent already. Entire communities abandoned and dev teams disbanded. No-one is willing to share links publicly anymore. Thus my point - hosting their pirated content on any site that wishes to operate or be accessed from US, EU or the UK would be committing a suicide by defending, or even not taking action on their dmca requests.
and also we have a generic term for GitHub like things, they are called forges, in this case (GitHub) it is a forge for git (the underlying SVC powering it) only
I do know that it keeps a local copy of the repo. But it’s not designed to work with a pool, so it needs a specific address to work together/clone/share repos.
I’m by no means an expert in git, did i overlook something?

Github =/= git.
Just stop using Github already.
I am not so sure this situation would be much better on other services. Nintendo could steamroll smaller companies.

Have you seen what happens to ANY website hosting pirated Nintendo content? How many of them are still online?
Lots are. Just because you see a lot of media articles about it, doesnt mean they are actually making a dent.

But it exists, many sites!
Keep living in your fantasy world!

Git is meant to be decentralised
And it is.
Github isn’t.
Yeah, but it needs a address to point to, to work with others repositories. Which with http is centralized. Wouldn’t be with a distributed protocol.
I don’t think you know how git works
I do know that it keeps a local copy of the repo. But it’s not designed to work with a pool, so it needs a specific address to work together/clone/share repos.

Technically you can add as many remotes to a repo as you want and push/pull to any/all of them. Might be annoying though
