She admitted it after the fact, they have no idea when they claim You downloaded a song illegally of knowing if you own that song or not legally.

Unless things have changed radically, it's not the downloading that is the problem here, it's the uploading that got this girl in trouble. Many point to point programs upload everything that is being downloaded as well as everything that is in any shared (or incoming items) folder. Some programs may even make available all files of a certain type, depending on the way the software is configured. If you do choose to download music illegally, make sure that the software you use allows you to turn the sharing function off.

“She admitted it after the fact”

So what?

“they have no idea when they claim You downloaded a song illegally of knowing if you own that song or not legally.”

When you show proof of your use rights I guess they will know you have a legal right.
