I agree in one sense- it makes a stronger case when you can prove the identity of the persons re-publishing your work without authorization using multiple pieces of evidence. I enjoyed reading the story at http://wp-board.com of how that one photographer caught some of the people illegally using his content using detective work, an attorney and the rules of law.
some of those techniques violate canada privacy laws, can say anything about that state laws because i don't live in that state.

But if you tried that stuff against a canadian the end result would be 10k fine for each piece of evidence collected. And that would be a fine you would have to pay BEFORE you started the case against a canadian.
