Indeed any p2p sharer could say he was doing his/her own investigations to pass on to the appriopriate authorities
and if they did not download the whole file - how did they know the whole file was actually being shared? etc

I`m not sure where you are coming from on this one. If you read the copyright statements on films they typically refer to distribution in part or in whole. Theoretically all you would need to do is to share a single frame of the material in question and you would be in breach of copyright.
