If you are a layman, it does. But this quote is very restrictive in the interpretation by Post og Teletilsynet: "Tilbyder av elektronisk kommunikasjonsnett som anvendes til offentlig elektronisk kommunikasjonstjeneste og tilbyder av offentlig elektronisk kommunikasjonstjeneste er lagringspliktig."

What we dont do is offer "Tilbyder av elektronisk kommunikasjonsnett". That means we are outside. Then the rest is not relevant.

We have been in the courts about this and both Kripos (they wanted information) and the judge found that we are outside the scope of this.

Ok, it wasn't entirely clear to me that you'd been in court over this after the law was enacted. That certainly is good news.

Does indeed sound like the directive is tailor made to make ingress/egress snooping on data useful. The kind of snooping we saw with NSA's "secret rooms". Such illegal wire tapping would fit very well with meta data stored at the ISP level -- and could also explain why anyone not at that level are not required to store meta data (it would be redundant).
