I don't think this will be possible in the sense of getting profit for just sharing the latest Marvel's movie. But I remember reading about the creator of Popcorn Time (who nows works for Xapo) about a system that can send BTC to creators.
So even if you pirate a movie, the copyright owners would still get some benefit. Perhaps not what they ask...not the $15-20 they charge on iTunes or Play Store but let's say BTC0.0001 per completed download, that's great if you ask me). Same for music, etc.

Getting paid to distribute pirated content? Not sure that some people will like this...
Not all torrents are uses do distribute 'pirate' and legal software. Some developers use it a backbone of their software distribution network and you can download many fully legal game clients, or applications vi torrent network. I agree, however, that torrents now are mainly associated with piracy, and I don't think we want to go deeper that road as bitcoin community.

I have another question, can I pay others to seed a torrent? It'd be nice to know what tool I can use to do something like this but it'd be better if there was a detailed tutorial on how to use it.
it should be a good idea. I sure can seed with my transmission as I download most of the time.

The concept looks like a positive and good idea, but let's not kid ourselves, the gains that you would get from this would be like spending time on a faucet or something, basically I wouldn't expect too much of anything that lets you make money by doing nothing (in a really passive way) unless you didn't invest hard at first.

Spending time on faucet requires active involvement, which is not the case for torrent seeding.

Yup! your right faucets needs a certain task to be done before earning BTC but I think in this seeding paying thing whom ever seed can gain bitcoin is applying not much of a work because your just letting the seed go on it's own!

I think it will be possible in the future to share parts of your harddrive and get paid, without necessarily having to share anything, just free space. For example the Maidsafe project is based around this concept. I cant wait until it goes live so I can start putting my big TB hard drives to use because I don't know what to do with so much free space
You would need to have some sort of uncapped internet access to afford that... and it should be fast, if you are going to share it online. If you are capped, the cost of data should be less than the amount you earn, or you would be losing money on such a service. Most uncapped internet services would start to throttle you at some stage, if you are a high volume user. Most ISP throttle users who use high bandwidth applications like torrenting. Some does offer a no cap guarantee. It can be bypass by using a higher encryption standard. You do need high bandwidth but I believe the main problem is still the quality of speed on your other devices. The more the bandwidth used, the slower the other devices would be. true.I use to download a lot using transmission and my isp called me for my suspicious bandwith months ago and so i just donwload 1 movie per day this time. how much can we earn seeding torrent by the way?

Nothing if you don't have the contacts for it. I know there are some elite seeders that get paid a slight amount for their efforts each month per uploaded 1TB. You have the highest chance by looking what's possible for you in private trackers.

Gave it a read and its a neat idea if you have nothing else to use your bandwidth for. I'm sure maidsafe and other alts that store data will be more worthy of investment though.

Since this thread was bumped, for anyone that comes across it: Joystream is still working with testnet coins only.

Yea, the legal issues with piracy are going be a huge hill to climb, before they would be able to go live with this. I doubt if this is ever going to go off the ground. The anti-piracy organizations are going to have a field day with this, once people start accepting payment for seeded content. There is a huge difference between sharing copyrighted material and sharing it for payment. I would be very careful, if I were you.

How to start and how much can you earn by this seeding? Who have experience with that? Is it safe for using?
