I mean, at that point everything is legal if we pretend to just send "random" 0s and 1s

But there must be some kind of burden of proof, right? If I leech 0.001% of a file, have I really pirated that file? If yes, then how small does the amount go? If no, then how large does it go? Or if they have to prove intent, well then that can go to trial…

The law is whatever the judge says it is. You could have undeniable proof of your innocence and still get convicted.

In the piratebay trial, just announcing the hashes was bad enough for a conviction
