torrentfreak.com — The federal Court has decided that T-Online, one of the largest ISPs in Germany has to delete all IP logs to guarantee the privacy of their customers. This ruling makes it impossible for Anti-piracy organizations to trace an infringing IP-address back to a customer of T-Online, once their dynamic IP address changes.

I just need to draw everyones attention to what Bollerwagen said:"this is only a temporary victory. Due to the new EU Data Retention law all ISPs will have to store the data between 6 and 24 months"This is true. The ISP's have to save all emails and records of which sites everyone has visited for two years, and, depending on country, the police has free access to go on fishing expeditions in the logs.

What a telecom provider means by that is "We LIKE selling out our customers to any law-enforcement schmuck that wants to peek at what people are doing."
