If I found that any of your IP addresses is abusing my networks, I've the perfect right to black list your entire network and even more, make my decision public, so others can follow my advice. Specially if you don't take measures to log your network (despite is legally mandatory or not) and ensure that you don't have "bad" customers on it. This is perfectly legal.

Re: [anti-abuse-wg] Fwd: Re: botnet controllers
I would not be so quick in judging Spamhaus to be evil or even worse, illegal. We've encountered C2s (malware control server) which are pure evil and illegal in most countries but running over VPNs. Having a VPN service provider who claims not being able to stop service for the customer who is running C2, that I would say is not legal. Therefore, it's important to make sure we take care of our own services first before we look at what others do.

Re: [anti-abuse-wg] Fwd: Re: botnet controllers
If I'm listing /24s, instead of addresses, and I clearly state, "within this /24 the following IP addresses have been reported as abusers" and probably other information such as "they do not resolve the abuse cases/they are responding efficiently, etc.", I don't think there is anything wrong. The evil can be in the details, I fully agree, and is difficult to judge if not having "all" the complete set of data. If they are doing "bad things" on purpose or by negligence, even if they aren't disclosing the real identities, the courts, will take care of it in most of the jurisdictions. It will take more time, but this is normal with anything related to law ... unfortunately. By the way, I'm not defending them. I don't know them. Don't know who they are, but I could understand why they don't want to hide. I could tell several personal histories when I brought to Data Protection Agencies/courts several massive spam/abuse cases, and they really tried to do really bad things to me personally. You will be scared. There are real *criminal* organizations behind many "so-called" email marketing companies, spams, hijacks, etc. We all know.

Re: [anti-abuse-wg] [Fwd: Re: Fwd: Re: botnet controllers]
Not being a lawyer, maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think at least according the Spanish law, that if I anyone, a natural person, or an organization, provides a service to inform “who seems to be a spammer” or “what IP addresses or blocks” are frequently sending spam, if the natural person or the organization just keeps something to probe that there was spam or any other kind of abuse, is fine. Otherwise, all those web pages that have public information about BGP hijacking incidents, will be acting against the law as well. *how* you use that information to create filters for your servers, is *your* decision, not the organization providing that information source. Note that I fully understand your point, I can think on it as “they have a dominant position”. However, this is because they are trusted, not because they have got a government contract or anything like that to have it. If I start building a web page with all the spam, intrusion attempts, and other abuse cases that I receive in any of the networks that I care of, and cite in the web page all those companies that don’t care about those abuse cases, and across the years the community think “this is a valuable” service, let’s use it. AND I can keep the records of why I listed them. Do you think I’m doing anything illegal or wrong? Of course I will be doing something wrong if I list organizations with fake abuse reports, but not otherwise.
