You still have the same constraints: only you can serve content.

The solution I'm talking about is bittorrent. The more people watch your content, the less your servers bear load. That is using the internet to its best potential instead of reverting back to the centralized model of the big shopping mall and its individual users.

Plenty of people have tried to build a peer to peer streaming system. Amazing tried for years.

They work like garbage in practice for mainstream users.
