Re: passing the buck
said by cornelius785  :what is so wrong with P2P for mass video distribution?
Because it's inefficient. Rather then a single streamed/downloaded file per user, instead you download it and then up load it to one or more others.
sure it takes the load off CNN (who would hopefully own/ lease high efficientcy servers, optimized for video connectted directly to major backbones) instead putting the burden on generally less efficient individual PC's at the end of the last mile.
In this case because they didn't clearly disclose (bold print on the pop up.) what they were installing, and that it isn't actually nessesary, I think CNN owes an apology to all users, those who downloaded AND those indirectly effected. |
