Gideon, here is maybe a better way to explain it. If you made a single copy of a DVD as your "backup", that would be your fair use.
You make 1000 copies and stand in front of a video store and hand them out, you have willfully violated copyright.
Anyone seeding a file onto a torrent network knows that thousands of people will see and likely download the file. It is entirely willful violation.
TPB on the other side is the financial part of the violation. In order to get traffic to their site, they willful aid the violation of copyright, and sell ad space to benefit from this violation.
It isn't hard to figure out. Why do you think there are no torrent sites in the US?
