Running PIA VPN but keep getting Claimed Copyright Infringement

This is now my third time in 3 days to get this. I'm running VPN via PIA. Each time (looking at the times that are claimed), the VPN service was running.
I'm using uTorrent. In the past I used to use socks5 proxy in uTorrent provided by PIA but it no longer works so I am now only using VPN when downloading.
I've emailed PIA about helping me why socks5 isnt working and also made a post here: 
https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/forum/discussion/32963/proxy-connect-error-no-connection-could-be-made-because-the-target-machine-actively-refused-it

So I guess my question is (per the proof so far), even using VPN from PIA, it DOES NOT protect you when using Torrents or does it?
I never had issues when my socks5 was working (which is why I am paying for PIA) but now that that doesnt work, is the VPN even need? 
Yes it masks browsing but I can use Opera for that. 

Help? Thoughts? Should I be concerned here that I got flagged so many times with PIA VPN on?
