However, if done carefully, you (they) can afford themselves a little extra protection.
Let's say you buy a $20 usb wi-fi adapter so there's a unique mac address. Buy it with cash. Install it on your laptop, set up a new account from public wifi and tweet only from public areas - small coffee shops, community colleges, etc.
It's no guarantee but it would realistically make it a b*tch to find you (or whoever.) If you (or them) tweet from home, all they need to do is put legal pressure on twitter to find an ip, and then they find out who the ip belongs to.
OK, that's what I was looking for. Thanks DRR.
