Therefor users would have to buy costly anonaous high speed web proxies services to fake the IP and most are to cheap to do that.
This alone, along with storing PC name in cookies and maybe special digital certificates that use a hash of the PC MAC address as the private key would get 80% of them - certainly those who use static IPs (e.g. cable modem companies).
