At the same time, if someone reported this to DirecNic, are they not legally obligated to report it? Perhaps we should consider ourselves lucky that DirectNic didn't just file a report with local law enforcement......
I admit it's an odd situation. I'm wondering why DirectNic is so concerned about this.

Rochard,
This was my point when asking Mike to clarify in his thread (to which he never replied).
It is *much* wider than the UK - the UK laws on privacy are taken directly from EU laws, which are that you cannot disclose this information to a 3rd party under any circumstance. Hell, even storing the data is a right royal pain in the arse; it's possible but the hoops you have to jump through to get permission is a nightmare.
