So I went to try that site out. Where the hell is the download link?! They're all ads!
For legit torrents, using Google doing a " torrent" might be the best option. For others, use torrentz.eu and Adblock.

Then perhaps they're not really trying to defeat piracy? If they're trying to justify the position of middle-men (say, recording studios in music), then the lawsuits show them adding value. Even when distribution is no longer difficult, thanks to the internet.
Recording studios are not middlemen. That's where records get made. You can only go so far in your bedroom before you need a room with a million dollars of equipment in it. That's the problem with these modern ideas about people producing content off their own back, it's not actually possible. You can't make star trek on a macbook pro with final cut, and you can't make a highly produced album with 10 musicians in you…

Thanks for the advice. However, all I can find on torrentz.eu are links to other torrent sites. Is it merely an aggregator? I thought they hosted their own torrents, it's less useful if they just send me to thepiratebay anyway.
The way I use it is to search for the torrent, and then use the results to pick a torrent site [that appears in the results] to stick with. Then that gets shut down, I head over to Torrentz, run another search, pick another site and so on..

Ah right -- Torrentz is a meta search engine and doesnt host any torrents.
