How does Bitcoin cope with the fact that the DVD key (and probably a few other interesting things) are stored on the blockchain?


It copes by whoever did that being anonymous. The same method as any other unsolved “crime”. In terms of network persistence of the data, it would be a gargantuan and fruitless effort to go after every bitcoin node operator on the planet in every jurisdiction they operate in. So Bitcoin copes by its very evasive design.


Do you mean 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 ?



because "bitcoin.com" isn't running the blockchain, responsibility is diffused. OPs point is even with distributed infrastructure, the portal serving end users has a name and address attached so legal departments know who to serve.
