I feel like this probably is intended to apply in criminal cases and not civil. (And a copyright case like this would certainly be civil, and not criminal)
In the US, it at least seems that something similar does, in so far as we require a unanimous vote by the jury to convict someone in a criminal trial, but a simple majority for a civil.

In Roman Law there is the principle "In dubio pro reo" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_dubio_pro_reo), which means that if there are doubts whether the culprit is guilty or not, he/she may not be convicted.
