Also, you seem to have completely, absolutely, 100% missed my point. This isn't about IP. It doesn't matter where lj gets the addresses, really. It doesn't matter if they're not completely accurate. The fact is that they are giving strangers that you do not know on the internet, the place where you live, without your permission and with no way for you to hide that information. Even if it's wrong most of the time (which I do not for an instant believe is true, despite your arguing to the contrary) being right some of the time is enough to get people hurt. It's a violation of privacy and it's completely wrong of them to do it.
