Oh for gods sake Rutkowski, it's a long way *further* than your bombastic assertion that "In law, there is no such network based right [to anonymity]". 

The Australian Privacy Act requires any private business turning over more than $3M p.a.  to comply with the 10 NPPs including NPP 8 cited above.  Nobody ever said privacy is unconditional.
