Basically, you can't prove it. You would have to go to the guy's house, get all of the computers in there, find the file he allegedly downloaded and show the court that is your copyrighted content.
Far too much trouble. Miles better to just blackmail fans of your work and potential customers and hope to get some hush money out of them.

Damian. They are welcome to their day in court where they can bring their computers in to show they're the innocent party. As the plaintiff is free to seize the computer to prove they're the guilt party.
The accused are not convicted by getting a summons. It's a chance for them to get their day in court. If they prove themselves innocent the penalties on the plaintiff will more than compensate them.
As for potential customers. If that were even remotely true we would all be earning a fortune from Tube sites using the industries content.

I said it wasn't worth bothering trying to stop piracy because it doesn't represent a lost sale.
The RIAA recently agreed with me. You like them, so you must now agree with them?
