That these files originated from your IP address does not
|
||||
necessarily mean that they were uploaded by you. It's possible
|
||||
that people on your home/business network are sharing the same
|
||||
IP address. If you're using a VPN then there are often many
|
||||
people using the same IP address. And some ISPs deploy CGNAT, in
|
||||
which case there could be hundreds of people sharing the same IP
|
||||
address. In all of these cases IPv6 is the solution, but most
|
||||
ISPs are decades behind on implementing internet standards. They
|
||||
just don't care.

abuse somehow. The alternative is authenticating every user.
|
||||
This adds another barrier to entry and generally complicates
|
||||
things.
