Does the law mean you can actually purchase the Internet history associated with a name though? I didn't think that was how it worked. What's more likely is that ISPs will sell big blocks of data that are associated with an IP address, or maybe an IP / User Agent combo, so advertising companies know that if someone with the same IP address browses a website with their ad content, they can do a lookup and find an appropriate advert.
