I should have said, most BROADBAND ISPs assign a static IPs.

Dial-up/ADSL users often get a random IP at each dialup occasion.

And that is logged too, in the form of "User 324943 logged on at XXXX and was assigned IP XXXX".

Soren: Bullshit, most ISPs assign a STATIC IP to each customer. You're truly stupid if you choose to be willfully ignorant and put yourself at danger. People with static IP have the same IP all the time so if the ISP gets a request to turn over the person for that IP, they get the right person.

Likewise, almost all ISPs have logs of who owned each IP at what time. How do I know? I worked at Telia and we had these logs for law enforcement purposes such as child porn cases.

This is all newspaper propaganda. IPRED will have no effect since the ISP will not store the information. This way its impossible to know who had a specific IP. This is legal and alot if ISP will do this. Those who chose not to, will lose customers.

A very positive step. This is only the beginning, however.
Still stronger measures need to be implemented and enforced, and not only in Sweden, but worldwide.

The Pirate Bay also needs to be shut down. If the name is not enough of a give-away, the fact that they are using cloaking technologies should also clarify the illegal intent.
