OK, so if the police shut down the brownie's website, they might be able 
to figure out what I visited it. But they're not going to, are they?

I'm sure if a sufficiently resourceful government organisation wants to 
find out who's using a given IP address, they can find out. What I'm 
saying is that the brownies themselves can't passively obtain this 
information just because I visit their site.
