Yes, but torrenting is not ONLY downloading, it's both. The articles you link are very clearly talking about 'Sharing' (from link 2: "File sharing consists of both download and upload of a file.").

Yes, thats lawyer speak to make clients/victims believe there is no distinction.

Hint: there is a distinction.

There is indeed, but not when you’re torrenting (i.e. you can’t download without also uploading).

Even when you are torrenting, there is a clear distinction of the different roles.
