sure there is
it depends on what the video is, and did you pay for it

if for example you download a tv show that you could have watched on tv station you subscribed to, then you are using the torrents like a vcr and that is just as legitimate

if you are downloading something you have never paid for, then it wrong.

likewise if you making a parody of a video, changing the audio or the subtitles and uploading that perfectly legitimate

if you are taking it content and simple uploading it with no changes whatsoever that is wrong

safe harbor is designed to make sure that the former is not censored/eliminated when the copyright holders go after the latter.
