She was found guilty of distributing the songs without the prosecution even having to provide anything beyond information relevant to her IP and username. They had no physical proof that she had distributed anything - certainly not her hard drive - yet a guilty verdict was arrived at on the basis of the IP and traffic info provided by safenet - the very same info that Giganews don't "monitor or record".

Just because Giganews maintain that they themselves don't monitor or record stuff does not mean that others in the consultative pay of interested parties don't.
