What prevents PeerTube instances from being used as Popcorn Time? (lemmy.ml)

Since the videos are shared via p2p when being streamed, what prevents an instance to upload copyrighted material like Popcorn Time? Are there any instances with movies?

libtorrent, that most clients use, supports both now, tho i've had mixed results using it

Which libTorrent client is able to webseed? qBittorrent does not know how to handle ws/wss until today (4.4.0).

Whenever I tried it, it would only download from the webserver source, but it should support web clients too
