that the point, american courts don't seem to realize this simple fact
over and over again they have come to summary judgements in favor of the copyright holder just based on the evidence that an ip address committed the download.

that should never be considered valid for the reasons you just listed. They need to produce way more proof to get a judgement. (even summary judgements)

this country court system realizes that, america should realize that fact some time in the future too.
