New streaming technology?

Torrentfreak offers this review of a new bittorrent powered tool for streaming video called SPARKD.  In short it allows for decentralized, anonymous, video streaming, which, if accurate, will almost certainly lead to much mayhem.  The technology looks nifty, to say the least.  Basically, as people watch a video through an embedded viewer, they will simultaneously seed the video for other viewers.  This would allow citizen journalists in remote parts of the world to get their video's out to the rest of the planet without needing a lot of bandwidth, for example.
