Default ISPs that fish for p2p users

I'm noticing something interesting. During more than a few searches, the very title that I search under (a person's name) comes up in first position and the linked file is not what I'm looking for. Not only that, there is no file description. All of these files link back to different Road Runner IP addresses (rr.com) and they appear to be trojans. The IP addresses also seem to come from a wide variety of rr.com addresses and not just one or two.

Considering this and what I've been reading about road runner, it makes me wonder if rr.com has gone rogue and is fishing for p2p users to infect. Has anyone else seen this sort of deliberate fishing from an ISP?

I have filtered out all IP addresses from rr.com as well.
