It's not illegal to possess obscene material with the exception of CP or Bestiality only to disseminate obscene material. So if she was using torrents and was sending packets while she was receiving packets, then she would be guilty of obscenity distribution. I forget the exact case but I believe it was Georgia and maybe Sirkin who argued on the legality of being able to possess it legally but not being able to purchase it which creates a catch-22.
Her strategy isn't that bad. If the courts can find the material obscene then the company cannot allege infringement because you cannot copyright obscenity. If it can be proven obscene, the DA won't give a shit about the downloaded because they will have a much bigger fish to fry with the pornographer.
