I would think Burke is simply fighting out of principle and will be forced to quit when his bills rack up. No doubt these rumors affect his family and whatnot, and it's a matter of suing to show that he doesn't stand for rumors of that nature. Say he sue's and wins and sites like CP give up the IP address of poster x - then what? ISP won't give up individuals names. Even if they somehow do, how does he prove that out of 8 people living in a household, person x posted that?
