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.
You are correct, I invite you of logging whatever you want... Looking forward to the outcome...
