It's interesting though. If I were highly motivated I might crawl all profiles and see which ones are affected by this "bug" and keep track of them with screen shots/copies*. From there I would see which % have pirated content. It might show some interesting patterns which could be suggestive of something one way or another. Of course a person would have to act fast because fields can be changed to say anything by the people in control of the database. But then again that might show something too and cause a cscade of other "mistakes"...

You're right though it doesn't by itself prove anything. I personally hope you are on the up and up and that you will work to make your properties piracy free and will not break any laws. I think that's the best case scenario for everyone.

* = Actually if I were highly motivated I would crawl everything on the site at least once a day and log it all; retaining it. Like you say "bugs" always exist in software. If someone were hiding something it would probably be a matter of time until it was somehow revealed one way or another. Being in the right place at the right time would be invaluable. As well as properly documenting it.
