If I understand correctly how that app works, it streams video content from public trackers. Poor quality and a huge risk for legal repercussions. And while open source licensing allow them to avoid legal trouble - except the original developers - the end users are exposed to all kinds of issues.

Only if illegal where you live. This is perfectly legal in much of the world, including parts of Europe.

My wife got a letter from Verizon once, because, silly me, I was downloading from Kickass. I know in Germany you can get in real trouble for torrenting. In Poland torrenting is legal for "private use" as long as you don't share it - I know, real geniuses we have in our government, part of why I migrated.

Torrenting itself, or P2P is a great concept! Alleviate the stress from going all to one or a group of servers. Everyone shares the load. Linux has distributed their ISOs this way for years. It's not P2P that's illegal, it's how most people use it.
