If you pay the tax when you buy the media, you are assumed guilty. Thus you are already sentence for the crime of copyright.
If they then find you on a p2p network and try to sue you, could you plead double-jeopardy (or something like that). It's a law (look I'm no lawyer but I know it exist) that prevent a person to be sentenced twice for the same crime...
