Quick comment on the Internet provider...It's not that easy to get the history. First, you have to convince the court that the information is so material to the case that it can alter the outcome of the case. Then "if" you get a subpoena, it's only good in the state that the court is in. Most providers are not in the state and even if you try to subpoena the local office, they may not have privy to the history and defer it to the main provider, out of state. Your hope is that they will cooperate with an out of state subpoena, but as a business, they'll prefer to stay out of it and protect the privacy of their customers. And I'm talking about a criminal proceeding! When it comes to a tortious action, the difficulty will be compounded.
