Internet service providers have become increasingly rich sources of information in complex criminal and civil matters. Parties in civil matters have used subpoenas to obtain information, but in O'Grady v. Superior Court , the California Superior Court barred civil litigants from obtaining information from ISPs because the Electronic Communications Privacy Act had no provisions for civil discovery. Attorney Leonard Deutchman says that O'Grady goes against existing case law and privacy practice.

It should surprise no one that Internet service providers such as AOL, EarthLink, Comcast, Verizon, Yahoo or Gmail are, increasingly, rich sources of information in complex criminal and civil matters.
To obtain information from an ISP in a criminal matter, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C.A. �2701-2712 (ECPA), compels law enforcement to use subpoenas, court orders or search warrants, depending upon the nature of the information sought.
