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