It feels dirty to agree with an ISP on something. But even the worst corporations are on the right side of something from time to time I suppose.

That's all they can get though they have no proof it was actually you and not someone else using your Internet, how they find out is they join the public trackers and just log everyone in it generally even without a VPN on private trackers they have no idea what you are doing

I think their goal is to tie the evidence to the ISP account, not necessarily name exactly who was pirating that work.
