Earthlink owned the other IP address, and sent notice to the home address of the account holder associated with that IP address that I had a court order to obtain his true name and address because the IP address had been used to commit a cybercrime.

The company's IT team investigated further and found that the IP address for the date in question linked back to the a specific employee's computer.

Wholesale Internet contacted the business associated with the IP address and told them that they received a court order regarding a John Doe who was stalking and harassing me, and the IP address linked back to their offices.

They had roughly 20 days to respond, I believe. My subpoenas and court order did not contain the name of the person that I suspected of stalking me, only the IP addresses associated with each ISP.

Through another court order (that I brought by myself), in February of 2012, I subpoenaed Earthlink and Wholesale Internet for the physical street addresses the and client names that were associated with the IP addresses in question (see Exhibit C).

Now, two years later, she is finally unmasking the tormenter, who she is suing for stalking, harassment, invasion of privacy, defamation, and identity theft, among other claims. A judge ordered Google to hand over the IP addresses behind the nasty comments. Back in 2010, model-turned-business consultant Carla Franklin was upset by nasty comments about her on YouTube that came, she said, from someone stalking her. This technique is far easier than the other option: suing your John Doe and going to court to get Internet companies to help you identify him or her. 'But it will narrow the location down and using cross-referencing and further research, it is very much feasible to create a profile, extract a name and a location.' 'The IP address alone will not lead you to the troll's address in all cases,' says Bopp in an email. 'You can then put the address into Google to find out more details.'

'Plug the location into Google Streetview and it will give you the actual address,' writes Bopp. Alternately, you can try searching the address online and see if it turns up anyone who seems likely to be the culprit. Now you may know where your troll lives, and if it's someone you know in real life, you may already know who it is.
