They wouldn't need to prove that you uploaded it, only that you made it available for downloading. You can't download from Bittorrent without doing that, as soon as you have a bit of it that bit will be uploaded to someone else.

In the UK there is big business in sending out letters demanding money for alleged copyright infringement after your IP has been "caught" downloading through BT.

They already have 5,000 IP addresses ready to roll, and are planning at least another 5,000 after that. I don't know about you, but I have never seen anything on BT with 10,000 seeders.
