Anyone know how IPFS is going to deal with copyrighted material and the like?

Same way TCP/IP does, or Bittorrent.

TCP/IP is a transmission protocol.

Bittorrent is also a communication protocol but does appear to have a Copyright Infringement Policy.

IPFS also has a way to Report Copyright Infringement on the IPFS Gateway Service.

But doesn't that go against the concept of the permanent interplanetary file system?

That's what I'm getting at; IPFS is also a protocol.

The gateway isn't part of IPFS; it's just a convenient portal.
