Other organisations are monitoring content too to prevent abuse, like search engines that do not even want results from hacked sites in their index. RIPE is defny responsible for any abuse, whatever it is. Lets have an example: A highjacker is using some netblocks to attack a big bank. They are flodded from this IP block and the attacker also sets up a lot of pishing servers using these IPs. Will RIPE ask the LIR about whats going on with his assignment ? Will RIPE deroute this netblock at all ? Just after the bank complaints ? After somebody complains to RIPE that there are pishing servers on this netblock ? What will happen ? Cant be, that RIPE is doing nothing (to my opinion). And it would be very interesting what RIPE would do right now in this scenario. Who knows more ?

There are a multitude of reasons why an IP block can get listed - while it *might* be an indicator that you or I can use for our own *private* networks, it is not something that an organization like RIPE should be doing, as there is absolutely no standard or certification of DNS blacklists. <blockquote style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid;" class="gmail_quote"> RIPE NCC could ask the member, whats going on with that netblock, if they see a listing. I guess a lot of members do not even realize, that their old netblocks are routed somewhere else.
