Don't want to identify the user so a unique random number generation to identify the program used to upload the data!
I'm working on something similar.

It captures leaked UIDs as primary evidence of copyright infringement. If the UID really is as anonymous as Phorm claim, and ICO accept their assurance, then there is no requirement to remove it from logs. (Which is not to say I agree with either Phorm or ICO, to my mind claiming a user identifier UID is not PII is absolutely and obviously utter bunk).

PS. Should add, concealing copyright infrigement (eg, stripping evidence of copying like UIDs) is an aggravating factor in considering damages IIRC

Noted on London Stock Ex site, BT seem to be systematically buying voting shares at present, in advance of AGM. Around 2,500,000 a day if I'm reading right. (I know nothing about share trading btw, this might just be noise).
