That's because it's polled the clients for their pieces. You're still only seeing out to a relatively a small horizon, and simply having a file supposedly available has run into legal issues in several courtrooms, actually downloading pieces of the files is far stronger, legally.

Of course, it also takes more time and effort, never mind that spoofing IP's is perfectly possible in torrent swarms...it rapidly gets you banned by other clients, but you could still get people in trouble with only a little effort that way.
