You distribute the news story that John Smith of 12 Maple Drive of Smalltown, Nebraska has been sued in federal court for uploading a title like 'Ass Fucked in Pigtails' to Pornhub to every last news outlet on the Internet, every local forum that people from his town/city can see it, in his local newspaper.

You don't think that someone who is smart enough to argue that they are a victim of wifi leaching would not ask for a prohibition of it being used to expose them.
hell even the US privacy laws prevent such a broadcast of info (see the youtube vs viacomm request-- redacted user info ruling).
