Even if they do, this doesn't guarantee that IP's user is the customer.
The most obvious case is a drive-by wireless user.
I'm not aware of any law requiring us to log everyone who uses our network.
In the case of cable ISPs, often entire towns are placed on a single logical 
switch. This allows anyone else in the general area to "borrow" any other IP 
in the area's subnet, even transparently if another person is using it, via 
simple man-in-the-middle tools (Ettercap).
