I know in my area an IP points to a location and not anyones home address.

So I don't care who gets my IP. I can just switch of my router and when it comes back on I have a new one.

What's the big deal?

In Britain even the police have to go through a whole lot of "obtaining  permission" and paperwork to track suspected terrorists internet activity and such like, so what chance of sony getting my name or address from my IP?
