Logs are of this form:

ip_address | log information
ip_address | log information
ip_address | log information
ip_address | log information
ip_address | log information

Now if you discard the first column, and use only the second column.
imho, i don't see how you can invade someone's privacy here. (please
provide examples against this if you can) The data is not as useful as
before, but is still quite worthy of analysis.
