Aren't they technically the same thing? Either way, you're uploading bits to someone else, right?
Wouldn't making the initial files available be slightly worse then uploading partial bits?
Sure, but in the eyes of the law, you're still guilty.

To pick a random horseman of the infocalypse to draw an analogy from, importing drugs into the country is arguably worse than selling them on the street corner, but both are illegal.
