Yup. ISP gets DMCA notice, notice says date and time and IP -- ISP absolutely capable of knowing which customer was assigned that IP at that time.
You can't really take DMCA notices with a "grain of salt". Many ISPs will just cut you as a customer after you get enough of them, as DMCA notices require effort on their part and the amount of effort their IT and legal staff spend dealing with other IT and legal staff looking for you quickly exceeds how much you are paying a month. So unless your area has an overabundance of ways to get internet to your home (in which case you must not live in America), you probably can't afford to have your ISP ban you from using their service.
- striking 10y agoI've gotten plenty. The most that's happened is Comcast injected a warning that refused to disappear into my http traffic until I called the list phone number. After you do that, they basically forget all the notices (although the copyright holder can still sue you).
- ohstopitu 10y agoWhile I agree that DMCA notices have serious results, in general, it's very possible that someone hacked your network, or you don't have a password-protected wifi (all of which means you didn't torrent the content that they said you did). Most copyright protection services, generally just grab thousands of IP addresses and send notices (without knowing who you really are). If you do respond, they'll then sue you if you refuse their exorbitant fine (along with countless others who did the same - as it's generally too expensive to sue just one person).
