  • YAnd as for logs, I personally am not being compelled to store log files nor make them available to anyone. But then, I'm hosted in the USA. But then... most sites are. Hardware is cheaper in the US, land (data centres) is cheaper in the US, bandwidth is cheaper, there are more telecomms peering points (the internet is faster and more resilient)... so not having a server in the UK I cannot be forced to comply to a law that doesn't apply to the geographic region in which my server is present.

    Also... what servers I know are in the UK (my employer for example)... we have also not been instructed by anyone to keep any records, and so we won't be :) And even if instructed, unless it's something we legally have to act upon we won't.

    It is the ISPs who are effected - my ignorance about how this stuff works doesn't allow me to go much further. :(

    Still confused, might have to educate myself after I have finished my maturbate-a-thon.

    If there was a picture of how it all interacts it would go in like hot butter into a shoe.
