Cloudflare, it seems, was perfectly willing to tell them identify of the customer without even going to court. > Cloudflare's security services do impact the ability of third parties to identify a website's hosting provider and the IP address of the server on which it resides. If Cloudflare's provision of these services made it more difficult for a third party to report incidents of infringement to the web host as part of an effort to get the underlying content taken down, perhaps it could be liable for contributory infringement. But here, the parties agree that Cloudflare informs complainants of the identity of the host in response to receiving a copyright complaint, in addition to forwarding the complaint along to the host provider.
