I'll bite - people torrent because they have no other options. People will pay for content if they're able to access content after paying. So, here's my offer:
I will build a torrent streaming site where the torrent file costs some reasonable amount of $$ per download, for fully licensed content, with zero DMA protections.
If you have IP that you are willing to share on this torrent site, I will take 10% of revenue after subtracting costs, you get the remaining.
My email is on my HN profile. If you own IP and are interested in licensing it this way - shoot me a mail. I need a minimum amount of interest from IP holders before I put in any real work building this.
Your move, Hollywood.
- xtracto 3y agoThe technical side has been solved for 15+ years. It's a licensing/rights issue what is screwing with the video experience. FWIW Netflix should go back to providing physical content rental (DVD, blueray) with full catalog. Or someone should do WHAT Allofmp3 did in the 2000s with Audio and THE ROMS licensing.
- Underphil 3y agoI download said content and share it on a public torrent site. Your move, dilippkumar.
- kevincox 3y agoIgnore it? People don't want to have to wade through torrents to get the right one. All of these videos are available on the torrent sites anyways.
- dilippkumar 3y agoIt was already available on a public torrent and therefore this additional torrent on a public torrent site changes nothing. Previously you weren't getting any revenue from torrents. Now you're monetizing a fraction of the population that likes to torrent but wants to not feel guilty about doing so.
