Best Answer

If you have the legal right to distribute the file (for example, a video that you filmed yourself), then seeding the torrent is legal. If you do not have the legal right to distribute the file (for example, a pirated copy of a Hollywood movie that you downloaded), then seeding the torrent is illegal. Even if you make no money from the copyright violation, you can still face severe penalties if you get caught.

If the torrent is of a commercially produced movie or television program, then seeding the torrent is illegal unless the copyright owner has specifically and explicitly given permission for it to be freely distributed. For example, Michael Moore publicly gave permission for non-profit online distribution of his film Fahrenheit 9/11 in the months before the 2004 U.S. elections.

The full seeding process begins once your torrent download has reached 100%. Seeding never truly "finishes." In fact it actually begins once you have started the download of the torrent yourself.
