Not true -- according to the OP -- we'll tell you who the hosting provider is -- as in, the name and abuse email of the host. The origin IP is not needed.

Ah true, I assumed from the quote.

I would think the origin IP would be needed for the hosting provider to identify their customer though? And the judge seemed pretty sure that the complainant could effectiely take it up with the hosting provider... still, there are lots of opportunities for misunderstanding here in case to judge to article to us. Not sure exactly what cloudflare will give you!

Cloudflare sends the origin IP directly to the hosting provider -- with a copy of the abuse report.
