I don’t think that’s how it works; you don’t just somehow get money because your ISP is being stupid. Maybe if, through years of expensive legal battles, you could demonstrate some damages and get a favorable ruling, but not because you have a recording of some incompetent customer service rep saying “don’t torrent”.
Also, be careful about taking advice about recording people from random people on the internet. A responsible person should tell you that different states have different laws around potentially requiring you to inform other parties that you’re recording them. You’d feel pretty silly suing your ISP based on a recording that was actually illegally created.
To my understanding your isp is only passing on the dmca which means that the dmca is meaningless unless the rights holder acts on it. So take away from that what you will

Hahahaha.
Call them again and ask the same question. Record their answer. Then keep on torrenting legal stuff.
If they’re dumb enough to come after you for something that is patently false, enjoy getting your retirement paid for by your ISP.
