Really LOL. Actually you are mixing things up. The IP address itself is of cause not private. It is a simple technicality to ensure that data can be delivered properly. But it does normally not tell you much about it's user - beside maybe which upstream provider he uses. As soon as you start attaching a geolocation to an IP address this changes. And this change touches areas were privacy concerns are valid. The geolocation - regardless if as coordinates or a postal address - are for the user alone to reveal on his choice.
