If my ISP is going to meter out and limit my bandwidth, I'm not going to use ANY of that bandwidth to help redistribute commercial products on behalf of other companies. Fuck that. NO.

It's called peercast. It's an old open source project. Not much activity now a days but it was a little tool to distribute streaming audio and video with p2p technology (unfortunately, they never adopted some of the better features of bittorrent, like swarming). Not many people use it now a days, but I still broadcast the hifi version of my radio station with it. http://wasteyard.co.nr @19 – There is! It’s called peercast. It’s an old open source project.
