No, in the digital world the original is never in your possession. The downloader does not "press the copy button", they never have access to the original.

Again, I'm no expert and I don't know if any company has even tried to prosecute the downloader or if they have tried and failed.
It's never even been tried, as far as I know.

I do know they generally go after people who have uploaded alot of material because they are easier fish to fry so to speak. It is easier to prove.
It's also because the uploaders are the ones who are breaking the law.
