Do not believe the claims a companies sales department makes.  After all, 
they are trying to sell a product (either the software or its results).

The answer to your question ?  By accessing the database which stores such 
IP-to-user "translations", which an ISP is legally required to upload its 
own log in that regard to.

And no, your "unique address" doesn't exist.  There is something called 
"dynamic IP adresses".   But using the thanwhile IP *plus* time of access a 
user can again be uniquely identified.

... unless you go thru some VPN or similar server thats located outside of a 
countries legal reach (and doesn't upload its logs).   Which ofcourse 
/should/ make a dent in their "100%" claim. But I'm sure their sales 
department has got some "thats outside our intended scope" excuse for that.

And you do not seem to have much of any problem with that.  Than again, 
although "common sense" is said to be common, it often isn't. :-)

Bullshit.  The only reason I want to talk to someone who knows more about 
something than I do is to get my problem solved (or just learn something). 
Any benefit others might get from my conversation with that other person is 
purely coincidental (not that I mind if it happens though).
