Germany Forsakes Auditing for Privacy
As part of the ongoing debate in Germany about ISPs storing records of IP address allocation, a court in Darmstadt has ruled that it is against the German Tele Services Data Protection and Telecommunications Act to store who was given which IP addresses and when. So, in essence, in Germany, you can sign on with a dynamic IP, order a terrorist attack via email or post to a Web site giving the order, and it's nobody's business but your own. To say nothing about sending spam, viruses, etc.
