Problem: Courts generally apply a four-factor test in deciding whether to require an ISP to reveal their customer's identity. The franchisee (1) must give notice to the ISP, (2) identify the exact statements that constitute the alleged trade libel (3) demonstrate all of the elements of trade libel (explained in Chapter 3) are actionable, and (4) produce sufficient evidence supporting each element of its cause of action.
Explain the 4 factor test.
