Gommers reportedly contacted Skype, also a client of iSight, and
requested account data about the teenager. According to Winter's
report, "the police file notes that Skype handed over the suspect's
personal information, such as his user name, real name, e-mail
addresses and the home address used for payment." It adds that Skype
disclosed the information voluntarily, "without a court order, as
would usually be required."
