 *How did Malibu Media 100% determine GPS LOCATION of an IP address* 
    *WITHOUT contacting the ISP*?

<https://www.csoonline.com/article/546518/ip-address-does-not-identify-a-person-judge-tells-copyright-troll-in-bittorrent-ca.html>

A discussion today on the phone ngs was about copyright infringement and I
went to look up the fact nobody has ever been successful in a US court case
for torrenting suits - when I ran into this (unsuccessful as usual) case by
the infamous Malibu Media (whose lawyers were previously disbarred).

The question I'm asking isn't about the merits of that case itself.

It's only about the software they used to geolocate to an address using
only the IP address and _not_ by contacting the ISP to get that address.

How does "Maxmind" software accurately trace IP addresses 100% of the time?

  "Maxmind geolocation technology which traced Defendant to a location
   in Miami, FL has always been 100% accurate"

How do they 100% geolocate an IP address alone to your unique address?
(assuming borders aren't nearby and noting they correlated neighbors)
