"Grandma endures wrongful ISP piracy suspension."
Qwest had suspended the service of 53-year-old painter accused by Hollywood of illegal file sharing. The problem was she didn't do it.
Hands up anyone who's surprised.
...Anyone?
...Bueller?

It's such a basic premise that I guess I can understand why corporate lawyers don't get it. An ISP or computer is like a gun. You can forensically prove the bullet was fired from a specific gun, but that alone does not put the gun's registered owners finger on the trigger. It just proves the bullet came from the gun. It doesn't prove who the Actor was.
Same thing with data packets from an ISP, or even a specific computer.
