The theoretical service uses distributed RAID6 -it detects the downed file - builds it back from distributed parity - and bans your client by hardware UUID. Your last known coordinates gathered from bluetooth/wifi/gps are broadcasted to local library users so they can ask you what's up.

Oh, I thought you were talking about Mega, not science fiction.

Auto repairing distributed storage, client link tracking, and banning devices by hardware ID are actually all pretty common.

The bit about the users is a bit hyperbolic but could also easily be done. They could get rewarded with virtual avatar gear to protest on your lawn for messing with their library.

There's nothing scifi about this solution. It's as mundane as tor or even, in some ways, bittorrent.
