Negative buzz about a company

Immunomedics was alerted that there was some negative buzz about the company in a chat room. The poster
used a pseudonym, and therefore the company was unable to identify the poster for lawsuit purposes. The only
information the company could ascertain was the poster's ISP. So the company decided to subpoena the ISP
for identity information of the poster in order to file suite against the poster. How should the courts handle these
cases, where the company's complaints may, or may not rise to the level of an actionable legal claim?
