  I use a free database from MaxMind to process my server logs.
It gets location within a few miles. Getting more accurate costs.
But even Google only gets within miles. If they're getting an exact
address that's just datamining of personal information.

  I'm curious. What do you know about ISPs uploading logs? I've
never heard of that. Is that a Dutch law? IP range assignments are
public knowledge, but I've never heard of any law requiring ISPs
to share their traffic data.
