Having read the linked articles, it got me thinking about the defence that the wireless router may not have been secure at the time, and whether its a reasonable defence. I thought of it this way.
What if, being very stupid I didn't lock my car door, and left my keys in the ignition. The car got stolen and was used in connection with a crime. Would that make me an accessory to that crime?
No, I don't think it does. It just makes me look stupid, and voids my car insurance.

If both trying to connect at the same time, only one gets on. Say this is the one that illegally downloads games, movies, whatever. They then go offline, the other customer reboots and gets the IP address the other guy had. He then surfs the web, checks his mail and a while later gets a letter and hasn't a clue what it's about.
It can and does happen and lately more and more often.

Two customer NICs on the same uBR yes, but for each to get service at the same time they would still have to have different modem MAC addresses, and therefore each customer would have a different IP address.
