Depends where you live and how enforced anti piracy laws are. I have downloaded stuff for 15 or so years through 3 or 4 different ISPs from static IP and have never had any issues.
Only thing that you could somehow call a protection is I do not use ISP owned DNS server.
It is good that same rules apply for everyone no matter their status. Of course there are some people where this does not apply, but it should be like that.
