I don't think so. never heard of them doing it over here anyway

the only reason they would care is to stop people downloading kiddy pr0n / terrorism. The way things are most IP addresses can be traced to a particular person. and the power that be like it that way. if that person says 'someone used my wifi' then it makes life hard for them
