Don't and haven't used any torrents as yet but seems shady tactics are being used to entrap people who do.

Media Defender, a notorious anti piracy gang working for the MPAA, RIAA and several independent media production companies, just launched their very own video upload service called “miivi.com”. The sole purpose of the site is to trap people into uploading copyrighted material, and bust them for doing so.

They have been doing this for a long time. (maybe not the site thing but they have been putting out fake torrents).
I don't blame them for doing this, I would try to keep people from stealing from me too.

I have more of a problem with them killing internet radio and putting DRM on stuff I buy legally.
