Actually, in civil lawsuits the burden of proof lies with the defense, not the prosecution. You would have to prove that no one ever downloaded a song from you. You might also have to prove that you actively made sure no one downloaded any songs from you by killing their connection when they tried. Otherwise you would be guilty of redistribution by you intent. Just the fact that you lucked out and no one downloaded it does not make you innocent.
An analogy would be you can't rebroadcats a copywrighted movie. If you broadcast it on an obscure channel, you are guilty of violating the copywright weather or not anyone found your channel and watched it.
You would hope though that the RIAA downloaded and verified the files. If they didn't, I might just install Kazza (never used it) and make a bunch of 0k [artist]-[title].mp3 files in the share directory just to laugh when they send me a supena
