In this case you'll have little problem getting a court order that
orders distribution of binaries to stop.  Depending on the case,
penalties are easy enough to come by.

"My wife shredded all that stuff" is not seen as a valid defense in
other business matters, so this would be no difference.  Due diligence
can be expected of business people.
