That is exactly what happens here (in the US and A) except I'm pretty sure they
don't discriminate with "worth protecting" and "which ones can be threatened".
It's probably an automated process. ANY material copyrighted by said employer
seen being distributed (uploaded, which happens when you torrent) gets a DMCA
take-down request sent to the identified distributor (the ISP that owns the IP
address seen uploading).
