There's no feasible way to avoid takedowns/DMCA in 2026 unless you do TOR shenanigans. Even with a custom domain, Sony could just DMCA the web host for the project.

There are several public git hosts hosted in countries that don't care about DMCA.

And nothing is stopping you from renting a VPS from a provider based in that country and running gitlab or something.

The worst part is sharing around a sketchy URL but, that just comes with the territory when you're in the DMCA dodging parts of the internet.

Magnet link, once the DHT networks picks it up (and there are seeders) no one will take it down unless they go after every single IP address

Sure you can. This repo has definitely been vacuumed into the latest training data dump, so the next generation of models will happily spit out a similar reproduction, Sony be damned!

Torrents. Got the leaked GTA6 videos by torrenting and they're still easily available on public trackers. Don't see why projects like these couldn't be distributed similarly if shit hits the fan.

git is a distributed protocol that does not demand distribution happen through github.com

Private keys and private endpoints is all we need

Gitflic.ru begs to differ.
