I don't know. If someone does something and you post on your Facebook page: "John Smith did --whatever he did-- and this is the guy, here's his public Twitter, DeviantArt, Facebook. He fully admitted to his crime." Well, the pirate was a dumb ass for being open with his profile when he was doing something illegal; everything Terry Goodkind shared was public record and probably only took two minutes to find.
All the guy can really do is threaten law action if Goodkind doesn't remove the post. Home address and phone number could be seen as private information, but your public Internet handles are common knowledge. Especially if the guy linked to his Twitter or whatever, and his real name was listed. But even if the post got removed, it's part of the Internet now, and that's pretty forever.
It's a powerful incentive not to be accused of pirating Terry Goodkind's books. He has no problem giving you the finger.
