This is a question of general application. I suspect, for example, that far more publicity has been given to Liskula Cohen's application to compel Google to identify the malicious blogger who wrote about her, than was ever given to the original postings.
I thought it was a pretty simple question: How do I not become the next Richard Gere? Clearly there's a risk in filing a lawsuit, just as there is in not saying anything. But if you successfully pin down the source to some internet nut-job, maybe that's better than if it lingers around and nobody knows where it came from.
I kind of get the feeling there could be more here. Maybe Livingston is dealing with other types of harassment, and wants to tie it all to the same person?
My impression is that Livingston has an unusually high level of public good will, not that I follow pop culture too closely.
