You're giving your customers tools to abuse the internet commons. You should be called out for it. Afterall your revenue is an exact function of user's bandwidth. Quoting from your pricing page:
> "Only data delivered via P2P counts against your plan."
- huancle 10y agoYou can always opt out my friend. The problem we're trying to solve is a real consumer issue - there is no shortage of stories in the press about how poorly the streaming services perform, especially during the largest events (Superbowl, new eps of Game of Thrones, etc). And this is only the beginning of the streaming revolution.
- anilgulecha 10y agoI'm sorry if this is the case, and I missed it. Can you please link to the information on how to opt-out?
- einarvollset 10y agoBy this logic, torrents are destroying the internet commons: this is basically running torrents in the users browser, but for content that they are legally allowed to consume. I think you need to step of your hobby horse here.
- anilgulecha 10y agoTorrent users opt-in, by adding the magnetlink/torrent into the app.
- einarvollset 10y agoPresumably, so would Peer5 users by doing things like picking the cheaper streaming host with the superior quality. And by the way - what's so precious in your mind about uplink bandwidth? How does the direction of the bits from my computer make this a moral case for you?
- anilgulecha 10y agoAssuming you're asking in good-faith: it's not the direction of bits that's the concern, it's the number of bits. End users should have the option of opting-in their metered bits towards Peer5's CDN revenue.
