Is it 2005?

I thought this sort of case had been dead in the water for decades.

An IP address does not identify a person.

Is there case law in Canada that deems the account owner as the infringing person without any actual evidence?

I think this is the law you are talking about and I’m under the same impression

Thanks for the link:

On December 13, 2018, Parliament amended the Copyright Act to clarify that a notice of claimed infringement that contains an offer to settle, or a request or demand for payment or for personal information, or a reference to any such offer, request or demand, in relation to the claimed infringement, does not comply with the regime.
