Fwd: Correlating an IP address with a phone number

So this thread has been going on for a while and I just couldn't take
it anymore ;)
so I threw together www.imanotes.com/iptophone
of course it doesn't magically look up the information (whois) but
relies on user input to populate a database of ip addresses.  I think
that the end all to this discussion for now is either WHOIS or COURT
ORDER.

Cheers,

Greetings,

Is there a way to correlate an IP address with a phone number? ...

Greetings in return,


A Simple Answer: No.

A Longer Answer: No - At least not without a court order. IP
addressing
has nothing to do with the telephone numbering system - and most IP
addresses are dynamic in the first place (as in, the IP address is
different every time the subscriber connects to the Internet) - but
you
may 'request' (see "court order" in the last sentence) the contact
information of a subscriber who was using a certain IP at a certain
time, under certain circumstances, from their ISP.
