What a court ask for is of course up to the courts. Judges sign search warrants every day on the word of a police officer. Yes it's a police officer, but I'm sure the judge will ask for some proof. Which will be easy to provide. Ex amount of traffic downloaded this pirated content via this ISP which we would like access to ONLY THIS TRAFFICS INFORMATION.
Yes mistakes happen, if the pirates stop stealing there will be no need for the mistakes. But the pirates don't care how many innocent people get hurt, so long as they can carry on stealing.

You proved you are a total idiot with your invisible join links but I will try to explain this to you anyway.
Your IP is requested by a private person because he has?evidence? that you have committed a crime. Judge only takes his ?evidence? into account. Your are never notified and can?t defend yourself. First time you even hear about it is when you get a letter where you are asked to pay whatever sum plaintiff thinks is reasonable.
You can now for the first time appeal to the court and try to get them to hear your side of the story IF you have the money for a lawyer. If you don?t have any money or not enough money all you can do is accept and pay even if you are innocent.
And your ?mistakes happen? argument is simply unbelievable. It is better to have 1000 guilty people get away than have just one wrongly accused and imprisoned. That is the basis of any state governed by law and first thing you learn at any law education. But for you making money is more important. Please move to USA or Iran because you are embarrassment for Europe and democracy and civilized society.
