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?

In many countries it is commonly understood that p2p is legally dangerous, because you’re committing copyright infringement by becoming a distributor of the copyrighted content, while streaming sites full of pirated content are safe to use because you’re just downloading. Web torrent breaks that assumption.

It is a very cool idea, and its exciting that libtorrent added support for webtorrents, potentially completing that bridge between the browser and torrents.
