When you install BItTorrent, you become a distributor. You better make sure that you have distribution rights for any IP that you are distributing, or you are violating copyright law. That part is straight forward, and has been pretty much settled in the last decade.

Ask anybody off the street who the distributor is in that kind of system and they'll say it's the one who uploaded the .torrent, just like the distributor is Adobe or Blizzard or the BBC when they use P2P to distribute stuff.
