As for impersonating people on the Internet, one would have to prove defamation (libel). This is harder to prove when you are dealing with Internet pseudonyms, but impersonating people using their actual names is not criminal but civil (at least in the US). One would have to know who was doing it so he or she could sue them in civil court. One would have to get a subpoena from a judge to unmask the impersonator in order to sue them for damages for defamation/libel. -- I have a hard time believing that there is much property rights attached to internet handles. And of course you have to prove some sort of economic loss which would be near impossible for the vast majority of people.   On the other hand as one of the people who had been impersonated by this guy quite a bit I say: pay up bub!
