How do you 100% prove that you didn't commit any crime? Could you prove that you didn't rob a bank on a particular date? It's a matter of evidence, as with any other crime. If there is evidence to show that a particular illegally-downloaded file was sent to an IP address assigned to your computer, you're probably going to have difficulty in explaining that fact away.

I really don't think there's any intention to block sites like PG or MR to UK users. Let's not start getting paranoid . No such thing has happened in countries which which have passed similar legislation.
