Usually you don't have to worry. Some sites though can and do bring up lawsuits (political ones come to mine), which are enforced. Another are over copyright issues.

But for giving IPs out and such, hardly, just to the nature of the internet with it being so open in the first place.

So don't sweat it until you actually get a legal notice, which is uncommon.
