The Internet Archive uses torrents for the files uploaded to their platform.

Is that an issue that the Electronic Frontier Foundation would need to be involved in?

The Internet Archive provides direct downloads for the content they host, so the fact that they also offer torrents doesn't really change the legal situation.

Not their legal situation, but it turns a downloader into a distributor who may not be aware of the potential legal consequences.
