I think your right and the report is confused...but I think we have alllooked at this as a "we believe" rather than a confirmed situation.
I can confirm this based on a conversation with a representative of the RIAA's technical enforcement.
RIAA DMCA notices are sent out using the advertisements based on a combination of filenames, titles,
sizes and (for P2P protocols that use them) advertised hashes.This is because DMCA allows a complaint to be sent if there is sufficient "reason to believe" that an infringement exists.
ESLs (Early Settlement Letters -- a process separate from DMCA notification), are --instead-- based on a download of the content being advertised to verify that the content is the actual intellectual property - a higher level of evidence.

I found this sentence in the 7th paragraph interesting...."Sherman attributed the “phenomenal jump” in the number of complaints to a “major change in the software and hardware” its major vendor uses to detect online infringement."
This is the same thing a representative from the RIAA said when asked about the recent uptick in complaints :
"the technology for detection has improved".
Has anyone noticed a recent revision in copysense hardware/software? Last I knew the linux based system they were advertising in late 2007 was removed until they themselves could obey copyright....
It was the MPAA that made the 'Linux+Snort + "custom snort signatures" system (AKA http://universitytoolkit.com/ ) had made available last fall.
