No that’s not entrapment.
If it was the police uploading a new torrent and getting people to download it, it might be.
If it’s a private firm that joins the swarm and observes who is seeding, it’s different. They don’t even need to seed anything. Nor download anything. But even if they did it might be ok.

I wouldn't be surprised if some companies were still doing that while being a little more careful about hiding that fact.
