(i'm trying to figure out which whois information is being policy-violated and who to complain about, but if i'm the only one receiving it, i may JHD.) mail server was used to send this email and complain. What they appear to have done is look at who is announcing what ip block and in that case it is 203.119.20.0/24. BGP table is free for use for whatever needs, so no violation there. But they do appear to have looked in apnic whois to find contact person afterwards. APNIC whois has what they call "copyright terms" at http://www.apnic.net/db/dbcopyright.html which says: "...Any use of this material to target advertising or similar activities are explicitly forbidden and will be prosecuted. APNIC requests to be notified of any such activities or suspicions thereof". As far as I know the address for complaints like this at APNIC is [email protected] Unfortunetly if they sent the same adveritsement to somebody who has ip block in ARIN whois, they would not be violating any policy because ARIN does not have terms of use for their WHOIS despite me trying to introduce it several years back... -- William Leibzon Elan Networks [email protected]
