Interesting, especially after this:

It depends whether you are suing the subscriber or the downloader (maybe both can be liable in some cases). Also whether the subscriber was running an open Wifi (normally not recommended), which is a matter of evidential fact to be explored in each particular case.

If you have IP addresses on this list, expect to receive papers shortly.

This is turning into quite a legal racket (get order $ 3000 for sending a 
threatening letter); I expect to see a lot
more of this until some sense returns to the legal system.

Attempts a bit like this have come unstuck in the UK. Search for "Davenport Lyons" and "ACS Law"
