Then let them take action.

They may. They take it very seriously now.

I've never heard or read about any cases. Care to cite any recent ones
for my benefit?

The police do take action now, whereas 5 years ago they would send you to
the ISP and that was that. A part of the anti-social stance they are
taking. The Internet is now not immune. The likes of Plowman cannot continue
or he will be in trouble. A recent Radio 4 prog covered it.
