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?

Because PeerTube's P2P aspect is actually garbage in practice. Want to support a whole instance with your bandwidth? Too bad!

I think you don't really understand how p2p works and why it is important.
