There is actually a really cool opportunity here. A service like this could put an access fee on certain torrents, collect payment via bit coin and pass the fee on to the content creators. Technically, it's totally feasible. of course, that only works if the content creators are willing to license the content, and that's difficult for even big players like Netflix. There's a huge international market for video and bottom disappear prices. case in point: every sketchy DVD store in the third world. there's lots of legitimate money to be made if you were able to sell legally to that market. The real question is: how do you manage the Price differentiation? If a movie costs $10 in the USA and $0.50 in poor, region-excluded country X, how do you keep everyone in the US from buying the $0.50 version? If put.io solves this problem, it'll become a billion dollar company.
