How does this firm (or whatever it is) know I torrented something? My VPN app took a shit in the middle of a download and I think it exposed my IP to some "anti-piracy" bullshit firm that contacted my ISP. ISP emailed to let me know and to "not do it again". How does this firm know about torrenting? Do they like watch these sites and hope someone's VPN slips like mine did today?

They watch the swarm. You can view connections of the swarm. They see your ISP owned IP and send an email.

Fuckers, but how can they see it behind the VPN?

I think you answered your own question.
