I'm not sure if that would apply to torrents, as you are also effectively sharing content with others while downloading.
It would be better that the law would require to make the content available for a download, using DRM / encryption that can work offline without any connections to a DRM server. Maybe using a personal encryption key.
Seeders could earn a cut by helping with distribution.
I believe the onus would be on the downloader to prove they have the original / a license.
