It already exists: https://www.popcorn-time.to/
It works exactly like Netflix, except when you hit play, it torrents the movie and download it while you watch. Essentially, it's a torrent client with a very fancy UI and a neat search system.
e: As a bonus, it's licensed under GPL V3.

There must be some advantages to .sh since it's recommended in the sub, but I'll go with the FOSS solution without a doubt.
e: The source code for .sh can be found here: https://github.com/popcorn-official/, it claims to be FOSS, but there's some minor copyright limitations. Not a big deal. Go with whatever you want, they're essentially the same.

It says in the link that it has a built-in VPN. So then can I just start using it without downloading or setting up a VPN separately?

It's a paid VPN as far as i remember (I'm not certain, you should check it yourself).
... but VPN isn't a must in most countries. I've been pirating tons and tons of stuff (about three movies a week for five years) and I've only gotten one letter from a law firm telling me to pay them some minor fee. I never paid, and they never followed up on it.
