That's really key to all this. If the ISP can't identify what the customer was downloading, how can the rights holders claim it was their material?

Because they (have already) set up honey-traps that participate in the torrent swarms. That will only get the the uploaders, but they only _need_ to get the uploaders to impair the efficacy of the swarm. If they were to take the opposite approach and target downloaders, then of course, one could make a case in court that if their computer sent you the file, with their knowledge, then the download WAS authorized by the copyright holder, QED. -Martin
