Even if they got the IP addresses, I thought I read an article from a while ago saying that the supreme Court decided that IP addresses aren’t good enough to take any legal action on someone since they’re shared.
It appears they aren’t taking legal action against the pirates but instead wanting to use them as witnesses against the ISP who has more money to go after and from the sound of it didn’t have decent repeat infringer policies in place. They also are after more than just the IP address, such as name, email address, and logs. That would presumably be enough to identify someone more clearly.
