The way copyright is currently written, intent does not matter for direct infringement. That is a fact. If you are suggesting that downloading can be direct infringement, then virtually everybody on the internet can be in violation of the law without even knowing it.

That is not just being alarmist, it is the truth.

If you are suggesting that lawmakers will change the law in order to avoid that reality and still make downloading a direct infringement, I can't argue with you there. But that doesn't seem to be how the law is written today.
