Yes.

Just wondering if the MacAlpine lawyers might be seeking similar information to get addresses of libellous posters on social media.
I'd bet a lot of the names there could be false, despite any rules to the contrary.

O2 and Golden Eye International in court battle over user details
[quote="ORG"]
ORG granted permission to intervene in Golden Eye appeal
We're delighted to announce that we have been granted permission to intervene in the appeal by Golden Eye International. (See a previous post for more details).
The case relates to an application earlier this year by Golden Eye for a 'Norwich Pharmacal Order'.
The order would have seen Telefonica UK (called O2 in the UK) handing over to Golden Eye the details relating to around 9000 IP addresses, through which copyright infringement is alleged to have occurred. The High Court granted an order for the disclosure of details relating to 2,845 of these IP addresses. But the High Court declined to give an order relating to around 6000 IP addresses, because of the arrangement that Golden Eye had with the owners of the copyrights. Golden Eye are appealing this aspect of the decision.

I cannot help but wonder that if:
"The past couple of weeks we have been asking for donations to help us cover the £5000 it will cost to intervene. We've had a fantastic response, with over £3,800 raised already."
And:
"If our intervention is successful, O2 will not be have to hand over the data it retains relating to just over 6,000 IP addresses."
Why doesn't O2 donate the £5,000? It's a drop in the ocean for them. Or would that constitute a conflict of interest?

Why doesn't O2 donate the £5,000?

Maybe because O2 don't particularly care if they have to hand over the user details or not? It was Consumer Focus and now ORG fighting it.
