This seems waaaaaayyy too polished in all respects for an app designed to break the law. I would not be at all surprised if those prebuilt binaries were sending your details off to the MPAA.

The MPAA already has the ability to view torrent seeds, why would they waste so much resources to create this?

Binary blobs running on user boxes can collect direct, identifiable, evidence. Spying an IP address from afar that may or may not be proxied/NAT'd is flimsy circumstantial evidence at best.

Honeypot, but that doesn't hold up since torrenting movies is so wide spread already.

Wouldn't be a legal defense, but can we say ENTRAPMENT??

That would be the MPAA actively encouraging infringement in order to then attack the infringers.
