Interestingly,
From what I have been told by a Plaintiff's cybersmear attorney, AOL is one of the most difficult services to get to cooperate with a subpoena. I have been told that the courthouse in Virginia has several employees that ONLY handle AOL subpoenas, and that AOL generally will not comply without a court order entered in the Virginia courts. This raises another interesting question: Why would a company sitting in Washington comply with a subpoena issued from another state? I have a physician client that frequently receives subpoenas from other states seeking medical records. Aside from confidentiality issues, I always refuse to comply based on the fact that these subpoenas have no power after crossing a state line. I know that some states have enacted Uniform Laws relating to interstate discovery (and maybe Washington is such a state) but without such a Uniform law it is, IMO, irresponsible to comply with a subpoena issued from a court in another state.
