Its worth noting that the RH (reported in house) version of the bill is significantly better. This requires logging only ip addresses and only for 12 months
AND the response may only be compelled by a government entity.
(1) A commercial provider of an electronic communication service shall retain for a period of at least one year a log of the temporarily assigned network addresses the provider assigns to a subscriber to or customer of such service that enables the identification of the corresponding customer or subscriber information under subsection (c)(2) of this section.
`(2) Access to a record or information required to be retained under this subsection may not be compelled by any person or other entity that is not a governmental entity.
It still needs work, like requiring reasonable suspicion of child pornography, but it is significantly better.
Also if anyone can confirm whether or not that Reported in House means that the actual bill that has been fixed and that it is not just suggested changes to the bill that would be great
I agree; this isn't nearly the scale of SOPA/PIPA.
This bill just makes it a requirement that ISPs keep customer IP addresses on record for at least a year. I'm guessing that most major ISPs have already agreed to do this sort of thing for law enforcement without any law requiring it.
