Torrents are illegal downloads of movies etc.
I haven't seen a movie in a theater for over ten years.
They are not technically illegal to download unless someone is making money by distributing them for profit. The warnings on movies are basically just a deterrent for people who don't read legal documents.
If you make them illegal to simply consume, a prosecution would be basically a punishment for consuming food, i.e, entertainment food.
