> "stored in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user" This seems like a very odd way of phrasing the law. The default user-agent string, for instance, is stored on the terminal equipment of the user, albeit in read-only memory. It can be used to distinguish one user from another. Therefore, could one argue that any site that includes the user agent in their logs would be violating this law? And what if the user is not behind a NAT? In that case, the user's external IP address is the one their terminal equipment places in the TCP header... which would mean that it is necessarily stored in said terminal equipment. Did the user give up the right to the privacy of the information by connecting to the website in the first place? Must there be a right-to-refuse all the way down? /s
