Add a disclaimer when/how torrenting is used #135

Describe your suggested feature

First of all, this app is amazing. How the heck is this using Flutter, go, Rust, and javascript in one package? (rhetorical)

I am a bit worried about the app letting you easily watch stuff over torrents. Does the app also reupload stuff? Usually when not explicitly blocked it does, which could become very problematic in some countries. In Germany for example, big law firms are sending out mass cease and desist letters, asking you to pay e.g. 900EUR. Anime used to be fine, but got more popular recently. "A good friend of mine" got such a letter for torrenting "Weathering with you".

I would really apprieciate to add a warning somewhere (maybe I missed it?)

This app is so easy to use, I believe a few unexperience users, could just use torrenting Streams and not know until they get such a letter in the mail, which could mean a lot of trouble.

Glad you like it, currently there isn't one, it would be nice if you could contribute by making a PR or writing it so I can add it in the next release
