Hi!
thing is that it's illegal to maintain a database with "personal details" which ip addresses according to various german courts are (don't ask.. mmk? ;) ofcourse we all know ip addresses identify nodes on a network, not persons, but the germans seem to mainain a different view on this, despite us isps being the owners of the internet and not the german government ;).
therefore we are not even -allowed- to cooperate with trend micro *grin*
sometimes laws really come in handy you know ;)
I am not a german neither do i live there. This is nanog, not denog ;) Ok and how many german blacklists are in use? There are reasons most of the blacklists are not based there. Its a silly story and you should focus on the ISP using the list and not some legal thing. Thats irrelevant here. Technically i dont see any new points and stick to the old story. Contact that ISP and negotiate with them. Good luck. bye, Raymond.
