Re: ACTION-255: Work on financial reporting text as alternative to legal requirements

Rigo,

Another example that just sprung to mind along Alan's line of thinking is
pharmaceuticals.  I know pharmaceutical advertisers who may store both the
IP address of the adserving serving event and the referring URL (site on
which the ad appeared) to comply with requirements that they not market
certain regulated products outside of certain geographical confines.

Hypothetical for instance - if you aren't allowed to market Viagra
directly to consumers in the US, but are allowed in Canada and Mexico you
want your log files to show IP addresses largely "known" to be in legally
allowable jurisdictions (Canada and Mexico) and/or to websites with
appropriate country codes.
