I don't know if the tribunal would be able to understand the argument from a technical point of view but yes, you'll need to prove what you were doing at that specific time was legit.
In my previous job I received many complaints from specialist contractors working on behalf of rights holders (relating to domain names not downloading) and they always demonstrated poor technical competency by those contractors. I doubt this has improved and so it is likely that a thorough examination of the technical details of the complaint will turn up significant flaws in the way they complaint has been generated. It would be useful if there were a volunteer team ready to conduct this examination that the first set of accused could call on. That way we might be able to discredit the methodology at an early stage.
