permissions are hard in general.

I think permissions in IPFS should be implemented as encryption + capabilities (see E).

(e.g. grant people access to particular paths by giving them decryption keys. once they have the blocks they can cache them, but you could do revocation by moving the blocks. gets away from the dedup benefits of the merkle dag, but if you _really want to do revocation_ you sort of can.)
