That is one of the issues at hand with the IP based copyright infringement suits. A lot of requests for discovery to find out who is associated with the IP address for a given time are thrown out, and some cases even after discovery are thrown out, because the account holder isn't liable for the infringement. Typically the only ones that stick are the ones where the person admits doing it.
