According to the moderator of the Sling forum:

More news here. Consumerist is reporting that the tipster's IP actually came from a prison IP...

TUAW is the one who broke the suspicious IP on their Twitter page:

They say they got the tip yesterday as well but that the IP it came from was a govt IP in West Va that apparently is part of the block allocated to the bureau of prisons.

More also at 148Apps.com - they report this as bunk:
