  * Distributed: Nearly all aspects and servers used in the network will be distributed. Anyone who demonstrates the ability to technically install the appropriate software on a server can contribute a server to the network, thus allowing it to grow infinitely. The only centralized aspect of the network will the domain name system, which will control which servers are authorized to be in the network (and will allow for the removal of servers that are unreliable or proven untrustworthy).
 
- * Anonymous: all submissions are anonymous. Authors are free to link to uploaded content from their own sites and assert ownership, however, no ownership is internally linked to any content in the network.  By extension of anonymous uploads, no user-initiated edits or deletes are allowed. Once content is uploaded, the uploader cannot request that it be removed or replaced (there will be no mechanism to know who has authority to authorize such edits or deletes). Content pruning will happen via automatic deletion of material that is deemed "minimally accessed" over a given period of time (pruned content can be re-uploaded).
