How can they prove you downloaded something if all they can see is an IP address? For all you know you accidently left your wifi open and some ruffian driving by downloaded the file.
Edit: guess I could have read the link first.
"secured" in this instance means password protected. This does not mean it can't be accessed by tech-savvy people with nefarious intentions. That's why you can still claim you never had anything to do with it and get away with it, because you did your duty and an IP isn't enough to identify a person.
Also: CGNAT means an IP isn't 1 person anymore. If you're reading this I know it was you, but that's another tool to deny having done it.
The information posted is completely outdated, Germany has changed its laws considerably since then:
