RSS over P2P

 Feedtree.net is offering a new service that replaces the usual polling architecture of RSS with a Peer-to-Peer approach.

Peers in the network share the bandwidth costs, which reduces the load on the provider, and updated content is delivered to clients as soon as it is available.

To be honest I don’t really get it. Surely distributing content over RSS causes much less badwidth problems than regular HTML?! Why would you want to distribute it and get yourself into a completely different set of problems? Security, legal, copyright… these are just some of the things that come to mind at the moment.

BTW Why would people be willing to share the cost of bandwidth for such a purpose?

It’s an interesting concept but I guess we’ll have to see how it develops.
