Was it possible that it was a neighbor or someone else hacking into a wifi connection? It sure is. But at the end of the day the person who owns / leases that IP address is responsable for what happens on it. If my kid downloads ten thousand songs illegally using my connection and my computer, I'm responsable for it.
It's like being caught with drugs in my house. If the cops raid my house, and find drugs, they arrest me because it's my house. It could be that the drugs wasn't mine and I had no idea they were there - but I'm the one going to jail. If I believe I'm innocent at that point, I go to court to prove it.
No different than an IP address. You can be sued for it, and then it's up to you pay the fine or prove them wrong in court.
My god, the fucking entry level in this industry is set very low.

Dude, you are pulling this shit out of your ass. No, you are not responsible for it in the same way. For starters, these people are being sued for SHARING files, nobody is getting sued for downloading them.
You can not sue someone and win for doing something without proving that they actually did it. This is why NOBODY has been found guilty yet.
