Submission + - SPAM: Anti-Piracy Co. Runs Afoul of Swiss Telecom Law
narramissic writes: "The Swiss: so civil, so reasonable. Anti-piracy company Logistep, which provides information on suspected file sharers to law firms around the world for use in copyright violation cases, has until Feb. 9 to respond to Switzerland's Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) on charges that its tactics violate the country's telecommunication law. FDPIC's legal advisor Marc Schaefer notes that under Swiss law, a computer's IP address is considered 'personal' information and so the identity of a subscriber to an ISP can only be revealed during the course of a criminal case, not a civil one."
