Skypecasting - P2P File Sharing

shashark writes "Technologically savvy users are merging these technologies to "Skypecast", using Skype's service to distribute recordings across the internet for free. This allows expert users to run their own mini-radio stations, which can be accessed by any Skype user. Skype does not actively support these uses, but encourages its users to find new applications for their service. Other possibilities discussed by Skypecasters at Unbound Spiral or Moodle are to turn an MP3 player into a radio station for any of Skype's 29 million registered users to dial up using their Skype line. Instructions also are available on how to record a personal soap opera and use Skype to distribute it en masse. Even more ominously, some Skypecasters record Skype calls and post them on the Internet."

So how long before I recieve a call in the middle of dinner asking me if I'd like to buy the following new hit single:

[music]Oh tell me baby, how was I supposed to know, that somethin' wasn't right yeah...[/music]
I really don't want to be telemarketed to by Britney Spears, some indie artist, or, god forbid, some Indian guy getting paid to do his best to present the work to me.
