IANAL but I would assume, due to the nature of peer to peer networks, and seeing how those files are kept in a shared directory, for the peer to peer network, that any privacy laws that MAY have applied would be nulled. However! I think there may be a case IF the MPAA cannot prove that those files were actually their content. Unless they actually downloaded those files, and verified that is was actually their property, I don't see how that case could stand in court, based on a filename.
Seems to me if everyone refused to listen to the MPAA threats, it would be all but, impossible for them to prosecute all the "alleged" offenders. I think you are correct in the above statement. Unless one can prove the files have the actual content the MPAA claims as copyrighted, then a termination or suspension of service would seem unwarranted. Funny, if you are getting DOSs'd or Spammed to hell, your ISP won't budge to fix it but, the MPAA sends one letter and they threaten to cut you (the customer) off. ~S~ Disclaimer: My own two cents.
