Its been well over a few months now, i started mailing back in mid february and have still to recieve any kind of response from anyone. I may just be requesting responses from the wrong people i guess.
Glad to hear that you have had some success however.
Could you perhaps send him a response pointing to the AOL Data Scandal of August 2006? (
wiki or
The Light Blue Touchpaper article) and stress strongly that IP addresses whilst relevent and a major leap in European Parliamentary discussions, is not the be all and end all of personal privacy.
Its easy to identify individuals without obtaining their respective IP addresses as AOL rapidly and somewhat embarrasingly discovered.
