Interesting article. While reading about Filecoin the first time, I had to stop every paragraph and think "but what if the node just doesn't give you your data back when you finally ask for it?". And as pointed out by part 2 of the article, not only can they choose not to give it back, but they are incentivized not to.
edit: Wouldn't erasure codes just completely fix it (as described by the Storj guy)?
