The RIAA in the early 1999/2000 was the epitome of corpo-surveillance and capitalist bullshit.

We got a notice and suspended Comcast account (Roadrunner at the time but all the same company underneath). Because someone uploaded Metallica songs to a server my little brother was running to share 3D models and shaders.

There were lawsuits about shared IP addresses, open Wi-Fi networks for days and the recording and later, movie industries doing this shit for over 25 years now.
