Sure it might work, but I have a bad feeling about it. The good news is that the argument that P2P causes no actual monetary damage (or at least can't be proven as such) is pretty solid and may make it though the rest of the argument. I hope he throws in the disparity between the market value of digital songs and the statutory damages. The amount is so ridiculous it may qualify as a violation of the 8th amendment to the US Constitution preventing cruel and unusual punishment and excessive fines. Uhhh….that’s a really risky defense.
