The investment advisory firm Highland Capital Management wants a New York judge to force the operator of Dealbreaker.com to produce information about an anonymous poster who accused Highland Capital of engaging in “tried and true criminal behavior.”

Claiming it has been defamed by the poster’s Nov. 2 comments on the financial news site, Highland Capital is seeking an order from Manhattan Supreme Court compelling the site operator, Breaking Media Inc., to hand over the poster’s IP address, user profile information, and information on that user’s frequency of visits to and comments on the site.
