Just to clear things out, although I think I know the answer, what about regular users' request to arbcoms etc? Are checkusers going to be obliged to disclose that too? Or only if the request is made to the *foundation*? (I think it is the latter, but please confirm :) )

A more specific question than what White Cat wrote below would be this: In what situations does the WMF disclose information? Only as the result of a subpoena? In response to a national security letter? To a non-binding request from law enforcement (assuming that, in some locales, a request other than a subpoena may be binding)?
I would assume that a request from a private lawyer for information relevant to litigation which has not resulted in a subpoena valid in the United States would not be honored? Somewhat relevant to me personally, as a matter of fact, as I have reason to expect such a request for my information.

I am kind of concerned (not with the change btw). Basically if I wanted to learn the IP of a user I dislike, all I need to do is file a criminal charge? How does it work?
