This I'm not sure about. I for one don't really care much about this.

If it's a concern that our real identities are exposed, this won't happen as the actual identities behind an IP address are managed by your respective ISPs. They are duty-bound to protect our identity, so no outside party can simply demand who the individuals are behind that address. If anyone's interested, they can read more on this article: Finding the Owner of an IP Address (AskLeo)

Excerpt from the last paragraph:
QUOTE
You can’t get there from here.

The ISP provides internet service to someone, it’s true, but they will not release that information, and that information is not available publicly. You’ll need the assistance of courts, law enforcement, and possibly overseas law enforcement, if the IP address is located in another country.

And when you think about it, that’s exactly as it should be: if the tables were reversed, you wouldn’t want random people tracking you down by your IP address, do you?

You can’t. They can’t.

And that’s good.
