Food for thought: Lemmy instance admins probably can’t afford $800 an hour corporate attorneys to fight off subpoenas.
Food for though: In the US judges have ruled on multiple occasions that an IP address doesn't actually prove what individual engaged in the act.
And yet they still want them, so there must be more to the story. I also don't understand why since I have dynamic IP address in EU, unless they can match the ownership to a person at any given time in the past its not useful info.
they can. your telco provider knows exactly which ip was assigned to whom at any given time
