This is the case where a $222,000 verdict was awarded for downloading 24 songs

RTFA. RIAA downloaded 24 songs from her.

Not strictly true. Depends what kind of logs the filesharing program kept, or her ISP.

And you are giving the RIAA the logs from your computer? Her ISP is not logging her file sharing activities.

I like to call it "innocent until proven guilty", but apparently, this doesn't apply to civil cases.

No, it does not. You are correct. One example of Oranthal, who was found innocent of double murder in a criminal trial, but guilty in a civil trial. At a civil trial the burden is not on the prosecutor to prove guilt. The court tries to determine what the most likely thing to happen was, then applies what they feel are the appropriate damages.
