Depends on what your (from the geoip providers point of view) customers goals are really. A very much non zero amount of geofeeds from providers opportunistically putting their prefixes in countries they are not, mostly for VPN placement (it sure is a lot nicer to VPN in the USA that everybody thinks is in South Africa, than actually running a VPN in South Africa), but there is also a number of networks that are using geo feeds as a opportunistic way to get their prefix is into countries where copyright holders don't necessarily have a with sending notices to. If the goal of you using a geoip database is to sniff out customers who are accessing content the you are contractually obligated not to serve in their region, well, you would actually prefer your geoip provider do it's homework rather than taking geofeeds at face value.

Are you saying you know more about my prefixes than me?
