Firms that sue you because you download copyrighted material don‘t sue you because they sniff your internet traffic contents, but because you appear on the tracker peer list. Ony public trackers this is easily visible, on private trackers it‘s not since you need access to the tracker in the first place.
So it's not about p2p connection? And ISPs don't snitch? The owner of the material catches my ip address.
Your house's ip address is static? Or they can get you even it's changing?
They have the public IP and a timestamp, which lines up with the ISP DHCP logs.
That said, at least for several major carriers in the US, your public IP changes very rarely. Like months or years with the same IP.
