IP is not ID

IP A number assigned by an ISP (Internet Service Provider) to devices, such as computers, smartphones, tablets, and TV's, that are connected to the Internet. ADDRESS Your ISP assigns an IP address (like this, but more random: 123.45.67.8) to your wireless router. Then, your wireless router assigns a local IP to each connected device ROUTER 192.168.0.3 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.5 192.168.0.4 192.168.0.1 61% of US Households With Internet Have WiFi Who Shares IP Address? As WiFi becomes more popular, know who is using your network. Our Devices Are More Connected Than Ever: SmartPhones, TV's, Laptops, Tablets, Even Alarm Clocks Stranger Danger! Anyone walking or driving by your home or business could connect to an open network. Secure your WiFi network with WPA and protect your privacy with a VPN. It is no more likely that the subscriber to an IP address carried out a particular computer function than to say an individual who pays the telephone bill made a specific telephone call. - New York Magistrate Judge Gary Brown Sources: http://www.scribd.com/doc/92215098/K-Beech-Order-Report-Recommendation-Ordered-5-1-12 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address
