i will have to disagree. if you notice on the motd of most servers. they make mention that when you connect to the irc server you are agreeing with the terms of use/AUP of that server or / network.
Well, by continuing to read this sentence, you are agreeing to transfer to me all your worldly possessions. When can I come pick it up?
besides. hows the fbi going to get YOUR IP.
By going over to the actual server and seizing it. No, seriously.
its a shaky subject. i mean. there are only few things the fbi can control. especially when it comes to IRC. controlled things such as pedophiles setting up meetings with a 16 yr old girl somewhere.
16 year old girls are usually old enough to have sex. How old is old enough for you, 45?
so in my opinion and from what i have gathered from my classes in law and justice. you do not have to give the fbi or anyone any sort of information on any user connecting to a network/server
Yes, you do. Especially in these days, when there are anti-terror laws covering anything and everything.
