If they are going to the bloke's house, seizing his PC, finding the file and proving he stole it, fair enough. But they aren't. Are they?

Look at it the other way and think about Child Porn. Now, lets say there is some sting going on and all they have is your IP. Could be your kid, your old dad, you, your mom... who knows. But that is enough for the law to own your ass with. They fuck people up all the time for such things. If that is enough to charge someone for possession of CP, why is it not enough to charge them with theft?
