This came out of torrentspy saying to the judge "we dont have our customers IP's because we dont store them". This bit them in the butt because, as the prosecution pointed out: they do store them, if only temporarily, in RAM.
The obvious response is to go out and get a bus analyser, and hook it up, and give them the contents of RAM. Every load. Every store. Sure, it may require handing over several terabytes per day if you have a nice meaty CPU (4 3Ghz Xeons, or similar). Oh. They wanted *only* logging? Well, they should have *asked* for that then. :)
