All the cases and circumstances are the same. DL have an IP address and maybe a screenshot for evidence. That does not identify any individual or any particular computer. As the burden of proof is on them, they have no case.
It's a simple extortion racket. Pay up or we will sue you.
Luckily, as long as you just keep telling them you didn't do it and to go away, they will never take you to court since they want to avoid setting a precedent at all costs.
