It's odd how this was in the Denver Post six weeks ago, as well as the Wikipedia Signpost, but we're picking up on this only now. How did that happen?
Probably because we have seen many of these types of incidents that amount to nothing. This one is slightly different in that the legal action was filed in the correct jurisdiction and therefore potentially enforceable. And it got some press when the ISP failed to deflect the subpoena for the user's identity. Until that point, it was kinda of a non-story.
I suspect they will put the fear of God into the WP editor and be done with it. This is likely the last we will hear about it, unless the owners of the company embark on some ill-advised battle to clear their name. I would never have been exposed to this particular rumour had the company not taken this action, which is not to say that it wasn't around, but now it has been further spread by this action.
