“Court has ruled that collecting and storing IP addresses is in violation of the Personal Data Act.”

@46 Zaphod
“Uhhh, this has a very chilling effect…

What about private parties that have, and use anti-anti-p2p blocklists for use with peer guardian (or firewall rules) on their computers?

Does this make it illegal to have IP data for private use?”

NOT in the least,how could it if you follow the ruling it cleary involved the USE of personal data.

the question you need to ask is “how do you equate personal data to a website IP” ?

you dont and cant is the answer, Now it may be that there are web sites (in the darknets of the comercial sector for profit businesses) that are collecting the IP addresses of peoples personal IPs and that would be covered by the data protection acts of the EU countrys OC, but not the other way around.

there is after all no “business data protection act” legislation, as they are not people, only people inside them hiding behind the corporate paper, that make their choices to spy, wiretap, collect and process your personal data for commercial profit etc.

Henrik Pontén is now celebrating in joy that he can still play cop.
Damn nutjob, telling he got warrents for peoples arrests when he has no rights to do so at all.

“Swedish Pirate Party’s Rick Falkvinge writes that a paragraph in IPRED specifically says that you don’t need to be granted exception from the Personal Data Act in order to retrieve the names of IP address holders from ISPs.
Translated: Antipiratbyrån can do as they please…”

Even if that was the case it won’t help Antipiratbyrån. Swedish ISP’s are not government agencies and the law also applies to them so they are not supposed to have the information MAFIAA wants.
Several Swedish ISP’s are flat out refusing to store any traffic-information as they say the Personal Data Act specifically prohibits them from doing so without a court-order .
