While I sympathize deeply for the physical break-in of your vehicle and physical loss of your iPod property (and the virtual property it contained), your analogy to the MPAA/RIAA reaction is built on a false premise.
To correct, you would have left your iPod on the seat of your convertible (top down, of course) and the iPod returned to said seat after the 'thief' had merely listened to your musical choices without paying you for the privileged.
No physical damage. No physical loss of property.
Then, the analogy to an MPAA/RIAA reaction would be accurate.
Of course, as the report notes, it may be difficult to impossible to get any useful info, since all House of Commons traffic shows up as coming from one of just four IPs, so zeroing in on the particular user may not be possible.
But ... but ... but ... all the Big Content says you can positively identify the *PERSON* by an IP address! I'm so confused.
