To my knowledge, this has never been the case and no court has convicted the bill payer purely on an IP address alone.

That doesn't stop these companies sending threatening letters hoping for out of court settlements, but again to my knowledge, nobody that has ever challenged them has ever been found guilty in court. Tell them to go away and they will, because the legal ground is extremely shaky.
