I'm willing to bet your HO would change if you were suddenly charged with a crime related to the downloading of illicit material. Suppose, for example, some pervert parked outside your house, hacked your weakly secured wireless, and posted or downloaded some decidedly illegal content over your assigned addy.
How do you prove it was not you?
Maybe you think it wouldn't happen to you. Maybe you think it
couldn't happen to you because you're using WPA2 with a really long and secure key; a key your wife or kid or friend gave to another who gave to another, etc.
What if it happened to your friend? Someone in your family? Would your HO change?
