All that said- an IP address does not equal location. This can be disproved a thousand ways from Sunday. Even if they get the judge (Blackburn I am guessing - haven't read the claim) to believe it is (which he shouldnt, since he has been properly briefed on this before), you can show that they didn't take proper care in the chain of custody for all the logs of your IP. There is a bazillion ways here.
But again, if it is a proper suit - then get an attorney. Yes it will cost you almost the same amount it does to settle (the suits are designed that way), but it keeps them from doing a forensic scub on your hard drive.
