What would really help torrenting would be to build it into browsers as an alternative http(s) transport for large files (instead of/to augment CDNs). If Warner and Sony found themselves automatically torrenting their content and their bandwidth bills falling would they change their attitude?
I definitely agree with that, but they have pushed a narrative that "torrenting is inherently bad and should be blocked by ISPs/firewalls/etc" which means it's hard to use as a transport for software updates, video delivery and the like.
