I don't know about the UK, I was speaking of RIAA lawsuits in the US. However, it wouldn't surprise me if you actually read the court documents you'll see that they are being sued for "uploading" or "sharing". You see the media claim "downloading" in a lot of their stories, but it's not accurate. Every single one of these cases that I've ever seen are always about uploading/sharing (which is what's actually illegal according to copyright).
The content industry wants people to THINK that they will get sued for downloading, and they have run a very successful propaganda campaign along those lines, but that's not reality.
