There's a lot of times that I'm watching something on YouTube that's broadcast live (like presidential debates) when I wish there was a less corporate, ad infested version where it was available. I think a P2P solution for events like this would be really cool. I've seen BitTorrent live evolve over the last few years and it's really beginning to mature. It still hasn't seen a swarm at that kind of scale, though.

Are you opposed in general to people earning money by providing you streaming content you're interested in, or would you prefer to pay for it directly rather than have ads?
I've never seen an ad during a presidential debate. Are you in the United States?
