True, but what you're sharing is just snippets of meaningless datastream until the whole thing is assembled (particularly if you're using encrypted connections).

In some countries (Switzerland, for example), only sharing the whole shebang is illegal, not useless bits of it, and that's why most Swiss users I know simply configure their software to stop sharing as soon as they complete their file
