Hi Holch
Don't underestimate what cheap silicon and disks can do today to track anybody down by the digital traces you really can't prevent to leave everywhere nowadays.
But the "Vorratsdatenspeicherung" that you refer to in your last paragraph (storing all connection data for six months for use by authorities) has just been declared unconstitutional by our Supreme Court.
I agree it would have been strange: You would have been sentenced for illegally collecting "personal" data on your site while your provider shares your prison cell for illegally **not** collecting the same data, both on the same machine.
Everybody around the world always knew that german legislation is just perfect: Everything is either permitted or prohibited, there's no "grey zones" (unclear border). But little did they know that one thing can be permitted and prohibited at the same time :-))))
What if a commerial hoster also runs a private piwik or google-analytics-armed blog? Can obviously only be done from jail *g
