Could be used to crush some unexpected businesses (Score 1)

Interesting stuff, this swarming system. The primary thing I see it doing is taking down companies like Intraware that have built an entire business on delivering software without its box. See, Intraware prides itself on being able to accommodate the large software vendors' needs in licensing entitlements, upgrade and patch services, and purchasing download accessibility. It doesn't sound like much of a deal at first but then you realize that these big software vendors have a lot to trace when they need to get critical software to their customers in a reliable way. Perhaps this notion sounded good to a venture capitalist or two back in the day, but the world has advanced and anyone with a little foresight ought to have been able to see that such a service could be built in-house without too much difficulty. Really Intraware is just a very specific sort of outsourcing host. With Bit Torrent technology and now swarming, all the nice features Intraware was focusing on, could be more efficiently replicated via Onion Network's technology.
