The question that would begged to be asked is how they verified it. 
If they were to download copyrighted software from somebody sharing
copyrighted software, does this not also constitute a crime?  Is it
not true that downloading illegally shared software is itself illegal?
 I'm not a lawyer, of course, but it's been my observation that the
legal system doesn't often smile on those breaking the law to prove
that others are breaking the law, unless it's in a Hollywood movie, no
pun intended.

Perhaps copyright makes some sort of concession for this.  But it
makes one wonder...
