i would think that would be pretty importanat if they're gonna fine you 200 euros per mp3 to know exactly which ones are he naughty ones, dontcha think?
they probably knew from downlaod streams. alot of big comertial labels set up fake mp3's in the hope to catch regular downlaoders and they trace their ip number
