So, instead of opening a new LIR under "SpaceNet AG", I register a new
UK umbrella company under the name of "My New LIR Ltd".

This one would then apply for a new RIPE membership.

How do you know it's "SpaceNet AG" trying to sneak in and get more space?


I've said that before: we've been there before - the "restrict multiple
LIR accounts" approach leads to "those people that are in for the easy
monay and do not care for anything else" will just register new companies
with a new name for every new LIR.  Nothing won, but database accuracy
suffers, because you can't see the real owner anymore.

Thus, having a checkbox on the application form might actually do more
good - people will still cheat, but it won't harm the registry.
