Copyright holders lobby organizations can now force internet service providers to release information about who had a specific IP number at a specific time. If the same thing happens as in Denmark when they got a similar law the lobby copyright holder organization will then send an extortion letter threatening with having to pay their court cost if they loose and saying they will go to court if you do not pay a lesser amount. Since this is not a criminal case you have to pay the winning sides costs.
