Remember: the ISPs are only the messengers; the IP holders are the only ones sending messages.
I remember reading on 4chan (possibly fake, but still interesting) where a guy was called up by his ISP who said that someone on his network downloaded some movie (actually probably didn't). The guy asks the ISP employee for his name and "kindly tells him to fuck off" using his words. He also threatened to leave AT&T so the employee was forced to entice him with a better deal.

Long story short, the guy liked the alert system.
