Hi All
I have a customer who has had something rather villifying written about them
on their own Messageboard and they want to persue it legally. They have
asked me to chase down the IP Address and I'm not suer where to start.
I know the IP, 210.50.159.126
I assume this will have been assigned to a User by an ISP How do I find that
out? Then I will contact the ISP and, with legal help and advice of course,
try and find the User who was assigned that address at the time of the
writing.
If any slugers out tthere can point me in the direction of where to start I
would be most appreciative.
This kind of issue has been discussed on the LINK mailing list
<http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link> in the past.
List members include legal beagles, government and media
people, all concerned about the Internet and its impact in Aus.
If you submit your post to LINK, I think you'll get some wide, deep
and varied responses.
cheers
