No, the law applies to everybody. If you're an author, and you find your book on a torrent site, you can download it, make a note of the IP addresses of the UK hosts who are offering that file, and request that the ISP issue warnings to those users. There are no "privileged" rights-holders in that respect. The important point is, though, that the onus is still on the rights-holder to discover copyright violations; contrary to what some have claimed, the ISPs won't do it for them.
