Re: stealing bandwidth, I feel like web apps are being held to a ridiculous standard compared to Desktop apps. If you download an app, does it explicitly ask you for permission to use your upload bandwidth? I've never had any app to do that. But, a lot of apps do use upload bandwidth. In fact, Spotify does P2P to serve a LOT of its content.

Ultimately, I think it's better for the web if the traffic is more decentralized because it renders sites hard to DDOS and censor. You can read more about this aspect of peerCDN in our Mozilla Ignite App here: https://mozillaignite.org/apps/479/ https://mozillaignite.org/apps/479/
