[AusNOG] DR access for civil litigants, here it comes

"Basically what happened was we found the data that had the Google 
searches and the ones that corresponded with searches the whistleblower 
would use. We then found the IP address they used with the Google 
searches and we linked the IP address to their email. We used the email 
to find their phone number and their address."

So, it looks like it'd be just about that trivial if you have UK style 
we'll snarf your search page view laws as well. (presuming google wasn't 
https these days, prescient that)
