Multicast doesn't (currently) work in the Internet due to router state cost, and is orthogonal from IPv6. In a hypothetical Internet where multicast works and is free, I could see pirates adopting it but anybody who can afford to pay would probably stick with unicast — bandwidth isn't that expensive these days.


Merci.
