I thought that there might be some interest in the list of these addresses :

If you have IP addresses on this list, expect to receive papers shortly.

Here is more of the backstory :

This is turning into quite a legal racket (get order $ 3000 for sending a threatening letter); I expect to see a lot
more of this until some sense returns to the legal system.

A good reason why every ISP should have a published civil subpoena compliance fee.

23,000 * $150 each should only cost them $3.45M to get the information.

Seems like that would take the profit out pretty quickly.
