I think the basic idea is that they ask you to retain all your logs, and
if you don't then they send you to prison.

I got one of these requests on Thursday from my ISP.  They forwarded a
message from the National Crime Squad to everyone hosting services with
them.

Not entirely sure what the legal status of the request is, but I suspect
that if they really wanted to they could nail you for not logging stuff
to their satisfaction.
