They probably checked their logs, and believe it was connected to you at the time (you being MAC address xx-xx-xx-xx-xx or whatever).
They don't have IP address = Hellmark. They have IP address at that time = device with this MAC address = activated on Hellmark's account/address.

Yeah, I understand how it works, but I mean, if they are going to accuse someone, currently the accused only sees that X file was supposedly downloaded at Y time on Z IP address. To the accused, that is only circumstantial, with nothing shown that directly references them. If they show the MAC address captured, it would be easier for the accuse to defend themselves, or the accusers to prove the accused as guilty.
