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 would say that the investigators were using p2p software, which in itself is legal to do, and using copyrighted material which they have the copyright holders permission to use.
