Why This Matters

Putting their works on a non-web-based platform like Minecraft helps decouple the content from easily searchable web content.

The game itself has 112 million daily users, which makes it a large enough platform for these purposes. How it helps: The data can be easily copied and disseminated, if need be, as a Minecraft world file, making it much harder to censor.
