multicast routing

   I am starting to look at multicast routing a little closer now. I
   have a question about its functionality. If I have the following
   configuration
   
   MS---(e0)R1(s0)-------(s0)R2(e0)----(e0)R3(s0)-------(s0)R4(e0)----(e0
   )R3(s0)-------(s0)R5(e0)----(e0)R6(s0)-------(s0)R7(e0)------MC
   
   Where MS is a multicast server and MC is a multicast client, do I need
   to enable multicast routing on all routers and pim on all router
   interfaces?
   
   I know that I receive multicast traffic on my internet connection but
   my isp is not routing multicast traffic explicitly. That is, to say,
   it is not running pim. What about 224.0.0.5 (ALLSPFROUTERS)? You
   dont have to enable multicast routing to get that across your
   network. Where do you have to enable it and where dont you have to
   enable it?
   
   
   I am so confused!!! Any help is greatly appreciated!
