If they set up their own p2p/ftp server would this not be entrapment of a sort

I get your point, but they are not monitoring anything, they are simply saying that the person at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx was offering y product for download at z time... with y product being copyrighted by them! If someone is openly offering material for distribution then the act of someone else accessing the material is not monitoring. It's really no different to catching a market trader with a load of pirated CD's. If they're up for grabs / being sold (albeit for Kazaa points) then they're breaching copyright, which is illegal.
