The result in the foregoing cases accords with the American approach to internet subscriber information. A number of cases in the United States including United States v. Perrine, 518 F.3d 1196, 1204-1205 (10th Cir. 2008), United States v. Bynum, 604 F.3d 161, 164-165 (4th Cir. 2010), and United States v.
