If the victim wants to pay money to attempt to prove their innocence they can just say they must have made a mistake and pocket their share of the money.
It's win-win. They either get some money or another filthy pirate gets kicked off the internet. And as we all know, once all the pirates are off the internet the entertainment industry will be making an extra 50trillion per year in profit.

Not to mention, that with the RIAA, their gameplan the entire time hasn't been to win the cases, but to force people to submit. They force you to settle out of court, and agree to pay wads of cash. They don't need to prove anything, merely intimidate you.
