Monitoring a private individual's internet usage seems inordinately intrusive to me. Are the sites that are making these downloads available not also complicit in illegal acts???
Here in Australia the front end for the entertainment industry (AFACT) have unsuccessfully sued a major ISP for assisting pirates to download. It is now going to trial for the third time (second appeal).

Meanwhile they still sit their on their backside bleating, make up statistics to suit themselves and outpouring millions of dollars suing individuals that catch their eye, often with the most flimsiest of evidence to back their claims.
