He didn't say you you own content (copyright) when you download it. He said that when you sell it to me I get certain rights that you can not take away from me. One of those is to restore lost files. If I do that from CD, DVD, Tape or Torrent, it's none of your business and there's nothing you can do about that.
Now obviously piratesbay and other torrent trackers don't have this sort of purpose. Their intent is clearly illegal, IMHO. I'm simply saying there are some legitimate purposes for Torrents and thus it might not be so black and white as you seem to think it is.
