How bad does harassment/ slander need to be in order to obtain a subpoena for the ISP?

Question

Just how bad or excessive does harassment need to be before someone can hire an attorney and gain a subpoena from an internet service provider?

Answer 1

it usually has to be really bad and they should have copies of the emails that was sent! good luck

Answer 2

First you sue.  Then you survive dismissal.  Then you schedule a deposition.  Then you send the subpoena and the service provider bring the records to the deposition.  A subpoena can only be used in aid of an existing lawsuit, not to held decide if you have a lawsuit.  So, it has to be bad enough to state a claim in court, sufficient to avoid dismissal.
