The most that "My wife shredded all that stuff" would get you is
"innocent infringement"
<http://itlaw.wikia.com/wiki/Innocent_infringement> (but you will have
to show that you stopped infringing the instant you were notified by the
plaintiff).  Damages may be reduced but probably not eliminated and
an injunction will still issue.  Since cessation of infringement is what
the SFLC asks for this would be rather useless.
