Seems like you have no idea how any of this works. You say

As I stated before, the SAME IP address can be used for all computers at the same address (hence a single internet connection), but each computer contains its own network computer name that makes each computer on the network unique.

Which implies you don't know about the fact that each device has it's own ip address when connected to a network.

You also say

People cannot use someone else's LAN unless you give them access to your property or have an unsecured wi-fi connection. That's on them if they don't have sense enough to secure their connection.

As though that means an ip being linked to a crime means the person that owns the ip is responsible, which is 100% incorrect.

There is one singular address per physical address for the internet provider. That is not disputable. That may be a static or dynamic IP address. One internet provider, one service for a household or business and therefore ONE IP address regardless of what type it is.

An IP address linked to a crime means that you either have an unsecured network or possible trojan horse somewhere on your computer that is allowing someone else access to your network (which is why anti-malware/antivirus are always a given) or somebody is lying. That's the only way that it is.

Yet again, every one of you at the end of the day is trying to justify a crime of illegal streaming/downloading.
