That's literally what they do. But they're required by law to be able to trace an IP address, so it doesn't help you. The copyright company asks for who was using this IP address at this time, and the ISP has to tell them.

    The ISP keeps the record for 6 months, if the party claiming rights wants to prosecute they have that 6 months to go to a court in the users jurisdiction and ask the judge to grant this info (users name and address). If granted then the info will be retained for a year. Without the judges order all the rights holder has is an IP address that will have another person attached to it after a time
