I'm wondering if the flood of lawsuits in this is related to the inevitable IPv6 transition. Once that occurs, the ability to drop a suit based on IP will be moot as IPv6 supports a version of dhcp that anonomizes automatically. :-)<br>

</div>From what I have been reading, Verizon usually wins when they challenge<br>
the subpoenas. Also, some judges have ruled that the IP address does not<br>
mean the account holder is automatically the guilty party. One judge<br>
listed 6 reasons for his ruling thus indicating suing the account holder<br>
successfully would require more evidence of guilt than just matching an<br>
IP address to an account holder.<br>
