Fair? I don't think so.

If you had downloaded it there would be other evidence. Traces of a file on a computer, evidence of interest in the file (looking at it on retail sites, for example), logs of Google searches, internet history, common usernames/email addresses/passwords on pirate sites, all sorts of things like that. That is the sort of evidence that would be required to convince a court/jury.
