Not to mention the fact that many people steal Wifi, and many places offer free Wifi.
That's what I'm doing right now. >_> And oddly enough, one of the ones I'm "stealing" identifies as a Wisconsin IP (not totally surprising since the ISP does provide to Wisconsin, as well, but still). Too bad I'm not just a little closer, or I could pick up my school's internet here.

I don't even think this is legal.
It is and it isn't. Essentially, refusing to turn over information that identifies those breaking the law is a criminal act (those Google is in the frying pan) but not everyone has viewed these allegedly copyright-infringing videos, so to hand over all IPs is not only a miscarriage of justice but almost equivalent to wiretapping based on the fact that a person knows how to dial out.
