Here's your free startup idea: content owners create targeted advertising based on real-time torrent downloads. The ad is a one-time use stream link in the local user's currency for a reasonable fee. Not realistic for implicitly condoning the download, but it would make me a huge fan of the company.

You want to actually kill piracy? You need two things, and probably either one of them would work on its own, too: 1. A streaming service with a reasonable monthly fee that has all movies and TV, not sharded between multiple different services. 2. The ability to buy and download movies and TV shows, DRM free, for a reasonable one-off fee. I know that the entertainment industry is allergic to no DRM, but I promise you, if they did this, piracy would go down, not up.
