I dont know, i still think that may be somewhat intrusive to the customer
of the ISP (and adds extra load onto the ISP).. If the 'victim' doesnt
press criminal charges against the client, or doesnt bring forth a civil
suit, then I dont see that the ISP need give up any information, nor do
they need to play operator and 3-way everyone in..
Restricting access is a different matter however.. As they are to some
degree responsible for what crosses their network (providing they have
been made aware of it)..
