Note that outside of special cases like a publicly-accessible gateway, an IPFS node is not supposed to fetch or retransmit data that the node operator has not specifically requested to be stored there. So this copyright enforcement stuff will always mostly apply to these services. (There might of course be some corner cases such as fetching a mutable IPNS resource and then rejecting the data because it happens to match some blacklist, but these are also broadly sensible.)
