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???

You get it more than most people do. Whenever you read news articles (and most posts) about this, they always use the word "download". However, the actual court cases are about uploading. The uploader is the one who is committing direct copyright infringement. I'm not aware of anyone ever being sued specifically for downloading.
