Divulging his IP to his provider seems standard, advisable, and perfectly ethical. We aren't just talking about minor vandalism, he has inspired numerous copycats and has harassed (or his copycats have) many editors.
I've not looked, but if our privacy policy disallows this even in such circumstances as this, we need to look at revising it.

If he wanted his privacy he should have heeded the warnings to cease the excessive and rather annoying vandalism he does. I don't think giving Verizon this information is a violation of our privacy policy as we are doing so to stop persistant vandalism and abuse. He has had plenty of chances to stop.
