Well spotted. In other words, WebRTC lets a site owner have their visitors distribute content directly to others without their knowledge or consent, basically making it impossible to argue that the distributor has intent to do so in the general case.
That said, it was already highly questionable for legal application, since a torrent client can run on any machine connected to a home wifi, including guests and compromised machines. It may have been enough for a "hey, you're breaking our tos, please check your devices" from the ISP, but should never have been more than that (like threatening letters from rights-holders).
