and that's where i think the only success will ever come in this battle, suing the pants off people and winning.
yea that could be tough, but ip addresses are linked to computers when leased out by isps... so in theory, the connection to the content being downloaded to their computer is there

legally, i dont know how far a lawsuit could go in that regard... that would be for a lawyer to figure out
