OP dont listen to this guy.
i see where you are coming from on this. my advice: keep your information on a "closed circuit" in home server. hardwired, wi fi disabled. have an intermediary computer for use on the internet, and keep it clean.
edit: as long as you know whats on your intermediary computer and make sure you know what is being introduced into your "clean" system. your IP will be safe.edit on 6-10-2012 by Dizrael because: (no reason given)

Isn't there any laws in New Zealand that could protect you from said IP? Does this have anything to do with ancient technology perhaps?

Just want to clarify that IP stands for "Internet Protocal", the set of rules for sending data across a network, not "intellectual property" in the laws that are written out to pertain to those things.
Too many people use the same acronyms for different things and it can confuse us very easily. Hope that eases your mind a little.

in this context IP = intellectual property,
in my country any thing transmitted over the internet is copywritten to the sender,
what stops hollywood from reading a movie script from my email and taking it?
on the science side,
what stops the hollywood lawyers from reading about my new designs and patenting them themselves?
what stops a competitor from knowing about my cheep source of supplies or my cheeper than theirs resource?
on a computer note,
what happens if i design stuff and by knowing where when and what sights i visit,
attackers can "target" me from the web pages i visit?
a targeted attack for my intellectual property?
i have no rights to protect my privacy or property from a simple "accusation"

Your ISP isn't looking at the data itself. They are looking at the size and amount of packets and where they go to or come from. If you show excessive bandwidth usage and you're IP ( internet protocol ) has been used to connect to torrents, streaming piracy site, etc... THEN the ISP will take some form of action. Here it's a slap on the wrist and a hefty surcharge for the extra bandwidth.
It's all just bandwidth/packet/connection analysis. Nothing more.

Here is a million dollar idea: spend some time learning correct writing and grammar.
Unless you are in fact downloading from torrents, you have nothing to worry about. They are not looking at you.
