IMO, you've just named the distinction on which any lines should be
drawn:  Static vs. dynamic IP address, not you-have-an-ISP vs.
you-don't-have-an-ISP.  My machines at home have static IP addresses
which, ultimately, makes me just as accountable for my use of
services on the internet as <insert random large corporation>.  As I
have the same level of accountability, I should also have the same
level of rights to those services, regardless of who those IP
addresses were assigned by or routed through.
