The idea is to showcase how a large dataset is pretty good at being shared without having central servers. Here using bittorrent.

mafintosh showed how wikipedia could be shared without a central server(s), and instead rely on a network of peers.

subtack did something similar, peermaps, which is a showcase on how you can share geo data over bittorrent. Imagine a google maps without a google servers. https://github.com/substack/peermaps

Of course there's many unsolved questions, like "how do you update?", "how do you manage the data?", etc. But the examples are pretty solid.
