Once a company unmasks an author, it can deal directly with the author and may be able to avoid having to file a subpoena - which significantly reduces the risk of media attention and adverse legal consequences.

Source: Investigation firms are springing up to help companies unmask authors, including the Internet Crimes Group (www.internetcrimesgroup.com) which was founded by an ex-member of the FBI. Depending on the complexity of a search, Internet Crimes Group charges between $2.5k-$5k to track an author and typically can turn around a request in several weeks.
