Sure the ISP can retain records. So what? At heart, the evidence can
still be made to disappear without leaving a trace.

The TPM chip can be design/built in such a way that the # is dynamic
and changes each time the PC is powered-off, completely disappearing.
When power-on, a fresh new TPM ID can be generated.

The PCs in my hypothetical cafe don't use static RAM. The consequences
of data remanence are VERY dangerous.

Free dial-up ISPs offer dynamic IPs. To obtain a new IP, simply
disconnect and reconnect.

In USA -- pornography, by definition, involves the use of sexual
imagery --
whether in the form of pictures or videos. Text is not considered porn
even if it is of a sexual nature.

In this theoretical cafe, each PC *is* pretty-much a dumb text-
terminal.
