Fortunately, it's not that easy. If the copyright owner puts something up for download, then there is no copyright infringement. What you describe above is just "giving it away for free". That's not illegal.

It wouldn't even need to be the actual product you put up for download, it could just be an mp3, video or ebook that said "Ha ha ha, we got you! Say goodbye to your internet."

That definitely wouldn't be copyright infringement, unless they wanted to argue that "Ha ha ha, we got you! Say goodbye to your internet." is copyrighted.
