Some things are highly valuable but just don't make sense to monetize. Bit Torrent is a great example of that.

BitTorrent Inc is evidently scrambling to find a way to monetize the core technology having raised money and promised investors it would do that.

They just laid off a %age of their staff, which indicates to me the end of the road might be nearing and Bleep maybe one of the last attempts they have to pull something off.

I love Bram, but IMHO Bit Torrent should return to being a true open source technology developed by the community.

They could potentially have sold BitTorent technology/software to companies that needs to move lots of data across multiple nodes. Instead most of them use libtorrent.

I don't think that makes sense. It is kind of like selling TCP/IP before the internet age ; network standards should be just that - an open standard that is open to all players.
