It doesn't really, you can host a server off a raw IP.

Downloading from example.com is just peer to peer with someone big. There's lots of hosting providers and DNS providers that are happy to host illegal-in-some-places content.

Incorrect.

The protocols for downloading from example.com are assymettrical client server architectures, not symmetrical decentralized peer to peer.
