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.

you still using it? Well, I need to protect my service from
abuse somehow. The alternative is authenticating every user.
This adds another barrier to entry and generally complicates
things.
