I've often wondered about this.They,it would seem,can prove which IP address the "illegal" download went to but,without an admission,how can they tell what *person* did the downloading? What if it was,say,the 12 year old son/daughter who did it without mom's/dad's knowledge or permission? Or if you live in apartment building what if the people below you stole your internet signal?

Any lawyers/computer geeks out there?

As I recall, mom paid about $5k in a case that actually was adjudicated.

Kid did it. It was one of the early cases.
