oh2 writes"The highest applicable Swedish court, Regeringsrätten, has ruled that IP numbers are protected (in Swedish) since they can be traced to individuals. This means that only government agencies are allowed to track and store IP adresses, leaving 'anti-piracy' advocates with no legal way to find possible copyright infringers."Update: 06/18 14:42 GMT by KD : The original linked article had been pulled due to factual errors and a new artcle has been posted (link replaced above). Here is aGoogle translation. The new article makes clear that the ruling does not affect the anti-piracy efforts of rightsholders.
