I never realised how things are different in Poland when it comes to this. Around here you’d get away with downloading pretty much anything except software which is explicitly excluded from our fair use laws. You can share full copies of audio, video and text among close group of friends / relatives legally so if persecution happens it’s usually against those uploading torrents or selling piracy services where it’s easy to make a case that it wasn’t fair use.
Sure, but the users of the service could also claim they got scammed with a counterfeit product. Those selling the service are the only ones worth pursuing from the practical and ethical standpoint.
I highly doubt the users could get away with such an excuse but I’m not a lawyer. And the complaint comes from the football ligue rights holders, there is not ethics to be found here.

That’s exactly the subject here.

Given that everyone is innocent until proven guilty, an excuse can be all it takes sometimes, especially in a civil suit.
