    Whether it’s true or not, I’m still a little bit surprised that they are allowed to reveal the names defendants. After the proceedings, sure, but during? With such accusations “innocent until proven guilty” usually doesn’t exist in neither in media nor in society.

    Are the defendants in all trials known in the US? (Well this is a pretrial, but still).

      In the US, there are very few exceptions where you can stay anonymous in the court system. Basically, unless your life is in immediate danger, you must use your legal name and people that initiate the case also has to use your legal name to prove subject matter jurisdiction.

      It’s by design. It’s a popular tactic DMCA abusers use. They file DMCA under corporate entities names, and then you have to use legal name to dispute it, and then they have your legal name to harass you.
