But will it work?

As I recall, the premise of BitTorrent is that everyone shares in the download/upload stream so as to spread the bandwidth. If they use BitTorrent to sell *AA sanctioned goods, then the people who buy the goods are also helping sell the product by providing some of their paid bandwidth for someone else to make money, like the *AA's?

Or as one person was quoted: “The sad thing is, it’s not about the money,” he said. “I’m not interested in renting a movie. I want to own it. I want total portability. I want to give a copy to my brother. Digital convergence is supposed to make things like this easier, but D.R.M. is making them harder.”
