Joe Blow would just need to find some fans who think that keeping his content available for others is worth their while.

I believe this could work amazingly well for netlabels and indie bands.

Regardless of whether I think this is a bit of a far fetched use case or not, this really does nothing for Joe Blow and his content distribution needs.

But let's roll with it anyway. How does IPFS solve this problem, and more specifically how does IPFS solve this problem any better than just publishing a torrent of Joe Blows collected ramblings?

Sorry, I don't really care about your theoretical questions. IPFS is nice and fun technology. If you don't want to participate, you don't have to.

> theoretical

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Asking what problem a technology solves is a very practical question. Countering with "IPFS is a nice and fun technology", is the very opposite, i.e. alluding to that there might be some theoretical benefits to it, but that your mainly into it for gits and shiggles.
