AOL sends you a FedEx if they get subpoened for your identity.

This happened to me once. I wasn't being sued, fortunately. It was a subpoena from the SEC, after I used an AOL account to email their Miami office a tip about a company that I knew they were investigating. I guess they just wanted to learn the identify of the "tipster."

In my case, AOL fedexed me a copy of the subpoena (which in my case was a handsome SEC document with the name of the company it was investigating in big bold print), along with a letter from AOL telling me which date they intended to comply with the subpoena. This policy would give the recipient an opportunity to quash the subpoena before the deadline, if they wanted.

Anyway, I think it's nice that AOL spends the money to correspond with you individually, and to give you a copy of the subpoena and a deadline too. Compared to SI, AOL really treats its subscribers properly.
