I wasn't aware that the pirate accepted any uploads other than torrent-files, which do not contain copyrighted information.

This is a good semantic distinction for legal considerations, but in this primarily philosophical discussion on the implications of filesharing, I think "donating" a torrent which serves as a proxy to the actual content to TPB and "donating" an actual copyrighted work to a library are decent analogs.

Isn't seeding the equivalent of the donation to the library, and torrenting just filling out the catalog index card?
