I am starting to come around to the opinion that such regulation
would actually be preferrable to this. Legislative regulation, at
least in democratic societies, imposes responsibilities but it
also gives *rights*. Namely constitutionality, the right to have
such regulation applied transparently and fairly and, most
importantly, the right to judicial review. None of which applies
to the vigilante kind of "justice" the proponents wish the RIPE
NCC to become the enforcer of. Given these two choices, I know
which way I'd vote.
