Basically you can copy and paste a magnet link for a torrent (please use legal torrents only) and Put.io downloads that torrent to your 'drive'.
You can then either stream directly in your browser or download the file. You can also transcode to .mp4 (a format that works on most devices) with a single click.
Streaming works perfectly on my computer, ipad, iphone, PS4 and even my Nintendo Wii U. You just browse to the site and open your file.
The thing I like most about Put.io is that if someone has that file downloaded already, it will copy it over to your drive instantly. Meaning popular legal torrents will 'download' instantaneously and you don't have to wait for it to download.

I would say chances are extremely low that any movie (maybe some sort of crowd-sourced production would be an exception) found there would be a considered legal torrent.
The best list I could find quickly,was TF's (from '06) https://torrentfreak.com/legal-torrents-movies-and-videos/

You are right on some browsers you need flash as the haven't implemented the MSE yet, but still you get adaptive playback. MPEG-DASH is already working nativly through HTML5 in chrome, ie11 win8, chromecast. Firefox currently implements the support and with HLS together you can reach all major platforms as shown in http://www.bitcodin.com/blog/2015/03/mpeg-dash-device-compat....
