yeah that the most accurate statement about it, i would say you are closer to the defination because the act ot taking the content implicitly declare a right to take it. However given the fact that many torrent sites put up a tos that defines a declaration of rights (ie only download if it is legal in your country etc) so by using the services that is only provided under such a restriction you are in fact "perverting the truth".
