Even if the user is getting his music at a lower speed than he would with a centralised server, he still wouldn't be complaining as isn't really paying anything. But once(if)the service gets picked up by users, speeds will start to increase.

But if you've licensed all the music why bother with the p2p part, you hobble the service quality and the robustness in the face of legal challenges becomes moot. Why not just go the route of imeem.com and store all the stuff on a central website then you can deliver instant access without worrying about whether the source for the file is online at the time.
