Can't remember whether it was technically "found illegal", or whether the E=
CJ vaporised the Data Retention Directive first. But there was a lot of con=
cern that the purposes for which data could be disclosed under RIPA were wi=
der than the ones for which it could be retained under the DRD/DRR.

IPBill "fixes" that by having the same long list of purposes for both reten=
tion and disclosure. E.g. both are now permitted for "crime" rather than re=
quiring "serious crime" as the old retention regs did
