Well, under UK law as I understand it, you can only claim the amount of money you lost, plus legal fees. Let's for a moment assume they can prove you uploaded a file to them (which of course they can't, but for the sake of this exercise let's assume), then they might be able to claim the up to the retail price of the game/video in question. Of course, they would have a hard time arguing even that, since there is no evidence that you uploaded to anyone but them and of course uploading to them does not translate into a lost sale.
In fact, uploading to anyone does not automatically translate to a lost sale, even if there were some magical way to prove that happened.
They have absolutely no case, not a leg to stand on, nothing. It's just a scam, designed to scare innocent people with little technical knowledge into paying them hundreds of pounds.
