When someone selects a video to view it is initially streamed from the server hosting the video and only when more than one person views it does the p2p aspect kick in.

And once again, 50 people in the "federation" @ $20 is still $1000 being spent. I can do the same thing for $60, so what is the upside for me ???
And what happens to that unlucky fucker that has the 1 video that everyone wants to watch?? If it's not replicated over the entire network, then he gets stuck with the overages, or his $20 account get's shut down
Again, sounds like a good idea on paper maybe
But in the real world I won't want to leave the fate of my monthly income, in the hands of anyone else, let alone 50 losers that might choose to shut off their $20 account since they aren't making any money
