It's literally the same process. Both are "requests" from a server.

They're going to monitor public p2p networks only, aka torrents, not youtube. If a music or video is at YT, it is because copyright holder either want it there or doesn't care. Thanks for their DFP you're in complete control of what is posted at YT and how, I mean in control of your copyrighted works. You can leave it, remove, monetize, whatever.
Which is not true for torrents - scammers decide what is posted there and how, not the copyright owners. MPAA&RIAA are going to institute new monitoring body that will be checking hashes for torrents that are being "shared" on public networks and issue warnings to subscribers if those hashes match any of the copyrighted works in the database.
