[anti-abuse-wg] Fwd: Re: botnet controllers

Sorry, but only legal entities have the right to impose penalties, not 
privately owned companies.
Spamhaus behaves as if they would be executive, legislative and 
judiciary at once.
They immunize itself against legal actions by moving their headquarters 
outside the EU.
Furthermore, they violate EU laws by publishing the names and even 
photos of spammers in their ROKSO list without their consent.
They never show any proof how they gather their information. Their SBL 
listings don't prove anything.
We even received SBL listings at a time when a certain prefix was 
unannounced and we have strong evidence that a lot of their listings are 
incorrect.
Yes, VPN services can be used for unlawful activities such as Tor Exit 
Nodes or public WiFi Hotspots; that lies in the nature of things. 
However we believe that most of our customers behave behave in a 
responsible fashion and respect the laws as well as we do.
Over the years they have built their trust in us, because when we say we 
don't take any user logs we don't do it.
