Torrenting, a way of distributing files across the web, requires that torrenters simultaneously “seed,” or upload, the files they’re trying to obtain.

That's not true. Techniques exist to fight off leeching and download speeds are severely impacted by them but that a blanket statement of a requirement just isn't true.
