Yeah, just speculating.
But when the case is:
1. A person has a written statement saying they broke the law/regulation
2. A signature that can be verified as theirs that proves the confession was theres.
3. A copy of the file they say the illegally downloaded.
I think that's enough for most judges/jury's to believe a law was broken and the person did committed it.
And perhaps there could be more evidence if they really wanted to dig into it (which again they wouldn't). Records from the ISP that show the file was downloaded and from what site/torrent etc.
