account sharing - a way around it maybe?

[Knytestorme]

You will not get banned from having multiple characters play off of the same IP address.

Correct, you get banned for having multiple players making the SAME keypresses at EXACTLY the same time (i.e. clearly multiboxing) from DIFFERENT account names. Logging in from the same IP has nothing to do with anything.

If 3 people are playing from the same IP -- legitimately -- there is no problem. The trouble arises when you start playing their accounts or they start playing yours or any other combination.

This is actually an interesting one to me in a certain context.

For me when I am 5-boxing on one pc I am seeing lag between each of the accounts (Quartz shows each with a different delay during casting) so if my accounts were being watched they'd show each character not quite casting at the same time.

Let's now go to a situation where we have a few people all in the same house, grouped together and questing using the method we suggest to the haters (have one member as assist/focus and then all press attack key on 3..2..1 count), could this not appear to Blizz as the same as someone multiboxing but with not all accounts in the same name? How would one go about proving it was not a case of account sharing in this situation?
