You can not allow users to upload anything to the network without the copyright for the upload. ie from creative commons. Users that use p2p now will change the file name and re-name and re-name just to get the download. The movie is never what it says and the quality is poor. Truely Supply the Demand with pay-per-view or video - on - demand. stay away from DRM. it doesn't work. no one on a p2p network wants to pay, they want it free and they will break the copyright law.<br /> <br /> We need to get away from the term 'p2p' and come up with a legal p2p platform that use's the technology in combination with a local server for members uploads and downloads. call it like 'peer 3' networks.<br /> <br /> "I use on Demand peer 3 networks" supply me with real-time on Demand when the supply is needed.<br /> <br /> Rob Hoover, WeDid.com<br /> I truely believe that all p2p networks need a secure central server.

We need to get away from the term 'p2p' and come up with a legal p2p platform that use's the technology in combination with a local server for members uploads and downloads. call it like 'peer 3' networks.

“I use on Demand peer 3 networks” supply me with real-time on Demand when the supply is needed.

My guess at the moment is that AOL pays for the bandwidth utilization on their own backbones (and remember: AOL owns a lot of big pipes); users of the In2TV service would presumably be responsible for any bandwidth costs associated with downloading television content, as well as hosting and serving In2TV content for other users. If you pay by the byte (upstream or downsteam) In2TV might not be any cheaper than sattellite or cable: who knows?

Upstream will be an issue. How do the owners of the physical network assets get paid? Higher access charges? Variable rates based on usage? Great idea but who pays for the bandwidth?
