My eye caught the phrase:

(B) If a subpoena
(i) requires disclosure of a trade secret or other
confidential research, development, or commercial information,... the court may order appearance or
production only upon specified conditions.


How about if everyone who was concerned about this gave formal notice to SI that they considered the identification of the person using the SI alias to be a trade secret? I don't know the legal definition of a trade secret (I don't work in that area of law), but I don't see why one couldn't at least make the claim. It would certainly muddy the waters.
