That being said, the shorter duration that logs are kept, the better for everyone involved for if such a request is made but is past the threshold that logs are kept, then there is nothing to worry about as no potential PIPEDA or any other privacy acts have a chance to be violated because there is no information on record. IE, a short retention span not only protects the customer, but also saves the ISP money and could also help the ISP avoid landing themselves in court on a class action for violations of the Privacy act.
THAT is the reason I took rocca to the woodshed. He thinks that it's about "downloading" and "concealment", where in fact, my argument from day one was to minimize the time trolls can, well, TROLL.
There is no legal limit of how long logs can be kept so there is no legal argument.
There are ISP who simply time roll their customers usage. It can be done for ANY period. PERIOD. The most that can arise is some argument of usage, not exactly a huge issues when they are offering train loads of capacity.
Then there is the dubious and self righteous claim of "social responsibility". Which make those who don't keep records irresponsible?
At least we didn't hear the "doing it for the kittens" argument.
Bottom line, just another CEO who talks the game......but doesn't walk.
