Names from Topix, curious as to what names on a message board the judge would order Topix to give up. Would there have to be clear evidence of the poster breaking the law? (slander, defamation, harrassment, stalking, etc.?) Plus after the names are given up, a lawyer would have to trace down the posters, right? This takes time. Would Topix give up ALL THE IP ADDRESSES or only those in violation of the law?
