Is your internet connection your responsibility similarly to your car being your responsibility if someone was to use it for multiple robberies?
Problem is that the way the IP addresses are being collected has been proven to be very unreliable. There was a study published last year (don't have it here, can try and find it) about this very problem. One of the examples they used was of an IP address that the IP harvesters claimed was used by a computer that downloaded something but was in reality being used by a network printer.
