"A federal (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,376003,00.html#) judge ruled Tuesday that the online video-sharing Web site, owned by Google, has to turn over all its user logs to Viacom, the mega-corporation that owns MTV, Paramount Pictures, Comedy Central and VH1, among others."
"But he used Google's own argument, explained here (http://googlepublicpolicy.blogspot.com/2008/02/are-ip-addresses-personal.html) on Google's own site, that revealing users' Internet Protocol addresses — which identify every single computer (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,376003,00.html#), server, cell phone or toaster connected to the Internet — does not constitute an invasion of privacy."
