Yes IP should do the trick, if it doesn't much the one from the billing company's records, it could mean login info either leaked or was hacked etc. But it's still usefull information because you can ban those IPs of the known file sharers through your htaccess file and redirect them to google - they wouldn't have a chance of getting to your site ever again. Sure they can use proxies etc - but downloading HD content through a proxy is a pain, and there isn't the whole lot of publicly available proxies out there, they'll eventually all be banned.
I think we should implement this industry wide, and share IPs databases with each other - so those who're likely to share content would be all redirected to google or whatever, not only from a paysite where they were caught abusing their member access, but from lots of other paysites too.
