In that case what do we need to do to make abiding by the terms of
use of the RIPE Database part of the Broker agreement? Looking at
Cyprian's behaviour here, they are quite willing to break the terms
of the Database agreement and then when called on it they would
prefer to grill other LIRs in public about their use of resources
than accept that their own behaviour is wrong.

Without making adherence to the Database terms also part of the
Broker terms, I don't see what is now to stop all brokers doing this
as there is a clear benefit to them in doing so.

Thanks,
Andy
