As a mechanism, bittorrent is symbolic of cellular division, enabled by the requests of individual entities, users. The torrent file is symbolic of DNA. Nothing is lost or gained, or even wrong about it. It's how life propagates. The entire notion of 'copyright protection' is absurd, as humans innately copy each other. This is observable in the 'homerization' of culture. Does Matt Groening collect a fee every time someone says 'd'oh'? No, he doesn't. But according to the rationale of certain representatives of copyright studios, he should. Remember, the middleman is a lie. Information wants to be free.
Anything that interferes in healthy cellular division is typically cancer, or immunodeficiency diseases. Consult your physician for the symbolic equivalent of what happens when cellular division is hampered.
