If logging is not required, why keep them for more than 24 hours? That should be sufficient time to aid with diagnosing any immediate technical problems. After that, get rid of them. You can't provide what you no longer have. More ISPs in the Western World should adopt this approach and it will cut down significantly on the John Doe ("You posted something I didn't like on the internet.") Lawsuits and the crap the RIAA and MPAA is pulling. It would be interesting to know if Yahoo was required to keep logs per the local laws.
