The fun part is that I am legally downloading when I get it from a newsgroup, but not when I'm downloading the same music with utorrent. Because in that case I'm also uploading parts of the song.

Actually in the case of selling the thing I think they are very similar at least in countries that tries to have some copyright laws. Or do you have any counter examples?
The laws in Sweden was as yours regarding the difference between newsgroup and torrent but they changed it a couple of years ago so downloading only also is illegal.
In this case I assume it is the laws in France that are the relevant ones.
