What makes you think the Feds would ever want their logs?
1. If the feds need to know who is spreading illegal copies of software X, I doubt they need to use logs from a highly publicized and possibly illegal Trojan. Read: They would use their own tools; unfortunately; for them, using this info on mere file-sharing violations would tip their hand. Bigger fish to fry and all...
2. Using illegally obtained data (logs generated by the Trojan) against the downloaders is itself not legal, or at least that was my understanding... not being a lawyer I can't say for sure. But my studies at Law and Order U seem to indicate that a defense attorney would move to have the logs thrown out. After much arguing and tension building bong bongs, the judge would agree. The logs would then be no more then bird cage liner and could never be used against the downloaders of the Trojan. If however, the feds were going after the dustbunny guys. Then I could see them using the logs. (Actually, I could see them reconstructing all ip traffic to the recording server and building a log of their own.)
