FAQ: What does the Google subpoena mean? | CNET News.com

A fairly extensive summary of the issues and the positions of the parties in this controversy.

Once more, though, I'm dismayed that the MainStream Media has chosen to sensationalize this situation by being unclear (purposely?) about the fact that personally identifiable information is NOT being requested, (no IP addresses are requested) by the Justice Department.

As expected, paranoia by privacy zealots has spiked and the MSM loves it. Rather than susurration, we have the shrill screams of those who feel they are somehow 'at risk.'
