As I evidenced above the ISPs will then check the validity of the report against their records of activity on the part of the IP address and, in the event that the information is corroborated, there will be ample opportunity for the IP address "owner" at the time of the alleged infringement to refute same and / or to take appropriate measures (security or otherwise) to prevent it happening again.

It's better that they have these avenues of redress available to them than just a straightforward termination decision being made by their ISP, don't you agree?
