Otherwise we'd have govts and not RIRs controlling the number resources. And I hear it all the time that it's specifically RIPE's problem of dealing with rogue sign-ups. <div class="gmail_quote">17 августа 2016 г. 11:24:44 GMT+03:00, ox <andre@ox.co.za> пишет:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> <pre class="k9mail">On Wed, 17 Aug 2016 01:11:44 -0700 "Ronald F.

I think this is an excellent question and requires discussion. Personally I think filing fake information to a resource is actually a crime called fraud. I am sure that this is also a crime under Dutch law and that the Dutch Law enforcement should investigate this? </blockquote> Why yes! (Now why didn't *I* think of that?) Yes, by all means, let's take a violation of contractual terms between two private parties and turn it into a law enforcement matter. And </blockquote> I am not sure what you mean, maybe you can explain it to me better? When one private person/organization steals another private person/organization's car, it is not theft? When one private party lies, cheats and fraudulently obtains something from another party, it is not fraud? Because why? Because they are "private parties" ? I am so sorry that I am slow in understanding this and than you so much for taking the time to explain this to me Andre </pre></blockquote></div> -- Простите за краткость, создано в K-9 Mail.</body></html>
