Getting IP without a subpoena! Legal too!

This guy has been fake pumping this stock I follow for a year. Whenever I post honest information he bashes me calling me every disgusting name in the book. Well, last night I got him! without a subpoena. Muahahaha.

I was going to get a subpoena to get his IP so I could threaten to go after him just to get him to shut up but it wouldnt' have been worth filing a suit. So, I found another way.

I uploaded a pic in my site with his name on it. I posted a link to that pic in the board saying it was a special picture I made just for him. There are only three people on that board and I know the other one so I would be able to tell who clicked on it. Sure enough, he clicked on it and even commented about it in a post with a date stamp.

I then went and checked my raw logs and did find file and the pic name. There was his IP address. I also saw my buddies and mine but the time stamp was within seconds of his post. I traced his IP address and found his server. I also saw what type of computer he was on, what windows software and what browser he was using.

I just went and posted that info on the board and this guy is going crazy! Now he thinks I already started a lawsuit. Hopefully it'll get him to shut up with all the nasty stuff and the fake pumping. I don't care if he speaks his mind about the stock but when he's lying saying it's going to shoot to the moon when it's almost bankrupt, that's another story.

I'm telling you guys this in case someone is on your tail. If I could figure this out, others can too so don't click on any link they made just for you. Of course all I can get is the IP and ISP. From there they'd still have to subpoena the ISP to get the real info. but it does save getting one subpoena. Anyone want to know how to do this, eme at mmmaryinla@aol.com
