In my opinion, for 99% of the consumer market you would have to talk to the
ISP of the customer to have any technical or user behaviour problem fixed
rather than the customer itself.

You may want to have a look at what your national law says about tracing
phone calls and how that can be done. In my country the general rule is for
the police to get a court order to do so. The current practice in tracing
end users trough logs and servers is the same. I personaly can't see the
real difference for tracing people on the Internet.

I know that there has been a real big difference here, but we have to
realize that Internet is becoming an important part of our society so I
belive it is important that we act responsibly with regards to peoples right
to privacy.
