I can't speak for everyone, but I'd be happy to share the burden of seeding these videos, if they'd stop threatening us over it.
This sounds like a concept that's better in theory than practice.
I can't imagine this being nearly as stable and high quality with minimal downtime
There's already a bunch of platforms running like this for years. None of them are legal but stuff like the descendants of Popcorn Time keep vast libraries of high quality video files available through just p2p networks
From my experience none of them are nearly as fast and reliable as YouTube or other streaming services
