    I want these things to implement peer to peer caching, so that when 10 people are watching the same video, only one downloads from youtubes own servers.

    Then it's just a matter of letting people add their own videos directly to the service and it can become fully independent of YouTube.

      yes, will you also be providing the caching server? Because that's the main blocker I think, nobody has the resources to cache them.

        Youtube is the caching server
