That’s interesting.  I was able to download the EG 1:1990 standard for free. 
The copy I received had a copyright notice (plus surplusage) that reads:
“Downloaded by guest on 2014-08-20 from IP 71.216.229.113 @ SMPTE All Rights
Reserved.”

I did a reverse lookup on the IP address from mxtoolbox.com, and it showed my
correct location of 44.98 -93.2638 (Hennepin County Library in Minneapolis,
Minnesota USA).
