Bebo also reminds us that IP addresses don’t really correspond to the individual ISP subscriber. In the Internet’s infancy it was a fairly safe bet that a transmission from an IP address is origianlly from the PC of the subscriber, but no longer. The Courts still treat IP address like a physical address, ignoring the key distinction between the two.
