Please stop the pedantic bickering!

The fact of the matter is that the IP address from which posts appear to originate does not necessarily reflect a single PC on a person's desk. There are companies whose network infrastructure is setup in such away that all outgoing traffic appears to originate from IP address, due to the way they setup their firewalls, proxy servers, etc. etc. I presume this is what Disney is doing.
AT&T WorldNet Services, on the other hand, works a little bit differently. Like most ISP's, you are assigned a specific IP address everytime you connect. Your address will vary depending upon the time you call and how many other people are on -- which is what happens with you and your connection, Axel.

So, yes your detective work was faulty. Perhaps you're trying too hard.
