Re: How does SBC stand RE: recent RIAA activity?
What exact information does an ISP log.
Let's say from 1pm to 1:30pm I visit a website/newsgroup etc
called "Joe's Illegal Downloads" (JID). I've heard great things about a band called the DSL All Stars, in particular
their tender ballad "Librarians In Leather". I search around for awhile and finally download that one tune.
What would show up on the ISP log? |

| generally from what I've heard and seen, simply the ip you had, what time you received it and what time you released it, your login information (failed and passed attempts), traffic in bytes you sent and received. Usually only ISPs or businesses with Proxies monitor the info your worried about. If the government, the business or whatever has a log with ip x.x.x.x and they find it's our IP, they get a subpoena and we have to tell them who had that ip at that time and it narrows it down.

| On some comp security group the manager of a privacy service
claimed he "rolled" the logs once a week. In contrast I've
read that in th UK it was becoming law that an isp archive
customer logs for over 5 years. I've only read that once, so I don't really know, but that seems a bit excessive. Does sbc have a universal policy? |
