Believe it or not there are users out there who never heard (or don't give a you-know-what) about gentoo-stats.org. Plus, your bot joined channels most of us where hanging around 24/7. I did not get a message "Hey, I'm a logging bot, see stats at blahblah" (may have missed it, dunno) For the above chans this maybe ok, and I don't intended to join them but in general I expect some courtesy when someone's dealing with such information. Be it legal or not is not the matter imho. It's just an idea of what one may do and may do without asking. just my 0,02$
I am logging all irc conversations with my client, do i have to announce it everytime i join the channels? Come on, those channels are public, everybody knows that they are public and that they are read and logged by quite a lot of people. I like privacy, but you can't shout your credit card number in a football stadium and bring an action against everybody that wrote it on a sheet of paper.
