I think this is different from breaking a law while being ignorant of it. In this case, the intent (ignorance or knowledge) directly factors into it. I think a plaintiff would have to show intent on the part of the downloader in order to show that they were a willful contributor to the infringement. Even then, I don't know if such an argument would work. I'm not aware of it having been tried.
