I'm not sure that's the case.

No. Entrapment is when an authority persuades someone to break the law.

However, copying data with the rights holder's permission is perfectly
legal. Therefore if the rights holder put it on a P2P network, it's
legal for anyone to copy it.

If Digiprotect put the material on a P2P network, they they have
possibly commited fraud if they falsely claim it's an illegal
download.
