Perhaps it would put you in the clear, but that is just a for instance. Your computer could be hacked... perhaps someone clever rights a virus to send them ebooks off of people's computers.
As for tracing the IP address, again, possible but I think rather unlikely. Not that it couldn't done, but more because the police wouldn't want to expend the resources necessary for a case like this...
