The idea seems okay, but it is something that the piracy / file sharing community is NOT liking at all. There is plenty of bad press for Bit Torrent selling out and making "paywalls" and such. I think it's a pretty good move by bit torrent to try to create a pay option, but likely to be soundly defeated within minutes, as people will find ways to bypass it and pirate it within seconds.

The other part is more and more, torrent systems are getting very serious with comments, down voting, and file pruning. If a file gets enough downvotes, it often no longer shows up in search even if it is there. So any commercial type file has to be pretty subtle to avoid the kiddies screaming about it.

Oh, did you hear that at least one of the major tube sites is no longer allowing people to upload with watermarks, unless they are the specific owner of the content? Then they just want to get paid to allow the upload! Wow!
