Of all the data they could store about me, having a 6-month (or 12 or 24 etc) long cache of "account X had IP Y at time Z" sounds like the most benign. As long as that data is only given out in response to a court order, I don't have a problem with it. ISPs shouldn't be burdened with providing anonymity to their subscribers in the face of the law, even if said law has debatable utility.
