But Escape Media wasn't actually suing for defamation (and its reply brief seems to step away from the desire to sue for defamation as a ground for the subpoena). And anonymous posts are not admissible evidence in the underlying infringement lawsuits; so showing the falsity of the anonymous comments would not, in itself, aid the defense of the lawsuit. Indeed, the truth or falsity of claims about what Escape Media tells its employees to do, and what those employees actually do, can only be determined through discovery of those employees and, perhaps, a careful review of Escape Media’s own documents (and computers)."
