The issuance of a court Order or Subpoena is a bit of a "chicken and egg" issue.
The reason that I use the "Chicken and Egg" terminology is that you cannot get a court order to obtain the identity of a violator of an act until you have established that the violation has some basis in law. In the case of copyright infraction perpetrator has been caught sharing or publishing the copyright material and has likely been partially identified. This identification is likely to be by an IP address, this address is likely to be that of an ISP but could also be the address of a DNS service (or Zone File host).
