The concept of Peer-to-Peer file distribution is not at all new. The interesting contribution here, if there is one, is if it catches on as a practical system.
And just to add my contribution to the "someone else thought of it first" bandwagon, see my dissertation, available online here, which I believe anticipated what we now call p2p by at least five years. (Ironically, of course, this file is still available only via plain old http, from my not at all p2p centralized server...)
