Perhaps there was no evidence of her sharing the files? I would presume the files need to be downloaded by the person filing the claim in order to prove they were distributed. I can create an mp3 of white noise and put it on p2p naming it after a popular song by a popular band. I wouldn't be breaking any laws in doing so.
