In these days of WiFi and VPNs, it's pretty trivial for someone to find an unsecured router and start using it to pirate things.
So going after the ISP to find out the name of the home where the piracy is supposedly happening could easily point the finger at the wrong party.
the tactic, like with downloading movies, is hopefully to scare some of them to identify themselves and settle out of court.
