mmk? ;) ofcourse we all know ip addresses identify nodes on a network, not
persons, but the germans seem to mainain a different view on this,
despite us isps being the owners of the internet and not the german

Based on what you say there, then the RIPE whois database cannot contain

"personal details"...
Love to hear the legal battle on that one! <grin>
