Just reading another article on the same site
http://www.siliconrepublic.com/news/article/12181/new-media/big-four-eircom-to-target-pirates

    /“We won’t reveal the identities of the users, but we will contact
    them and if they fail to comply we will follow the process agreed
    with the music industry. Currently the industry pursues these
    individuals in the court. We will now begin a three-step process
    that will begin with the issuing of a warning./

So if Eircom are not revealing the identites, and just disconnecting the 
user, the following comes to mind.

How are the industry going to pursue this in court if the details of the 
users are not being released ?
Whats to stop disconnected people from signing up with another ISP after 
disconnection?
