eli5: IP logging vs tracking

173 views

With this stuff going on with Netflix I am hearing a lot about the Canadian law against IP logging. What is the difference? Does this make what Netflix is doing technically illegal?

Whenever you connect to a service on the internet, that service sees your IP address. This is an unavoidable part of how the internet works.

This is not the same as them _logging_ your IP address, which would require that the service see the IP address and store it.
