Possibly related concept - '10% of the content' sharing. Or "fair use percentage" sharing. Some jurisdictions have a "fair use" clause, so share that %. Only. (According to your jurisdiction.) Could be useful in any take-down or other legal type process. Only advertise that you are seeding that 10% block. Of course the clients coordinate to share different blocks. And you need a minimum number of seeders. If less clients, then seed different portions at different times. Don't know how useful this might be.
