Personally if I were a filmmaker I wouldn’t want to use BitTorrent as a distribution device because there wouldn’t be any way to earn income, even ancillary. Music is much less costly to produce than motion pictures, but note Radiohead encouraged people to come to their web site and the only cost of the music (unless one voluntarily paid) was leaving an email. That email list was a source of future income, from a marketing standpoint.

With BitTorrent, you have no idea who is downloading your work, and it’s likely being downloaded by people who have no problem with infringement and don’t even know you’ve authorized the download, so you can’t assume you might be able to win them over as a paying customer later.

Still, it’s not my place to question someone else’s business model. If they want to do this that’s their business. I just wish people wouldn’t tell creators who want to exercise their rights that they should instead give their works away and find other sources of revenue. Let’s let everyone exercise their rights how they choose.
