Yea, but all that's going to do is give the IP of the household, anybody in the house could be looking at whatever

This will give them a concrete identity tie in to a specific person

And if it's over Wi-Fi they isn't strictly secured it's essentially impossible to tie it to anyone at all. It's why the average person doesn't need to be afraid of piracy. Oh and then there are vpns to bypass that even harder.

That defence might help if you find yourself standing in front of a jury... but porn is legal so that's never going to happen.

But for blackmail? Presumption of innocence won't help you in the slightest.
