Public records are wonderful, as they gives us ordinary people the possibility to check up on the folks we elect into government :-) But offcourse these could be missused. More importantly you guys should pass some legislation on harvesting public records, for marketing material. I'm no way a legal expert, but that seems more resonable.
We got something simmular in Sweden called offentlighetsprincipen. Basicly all material passing a government agency are put in the public records. We could even look up if someone have been convicted of a fellony, and read court documents. And offcourse look up annual income, and get pictures of the person, if he/she applied for a passport.

Hi!
New cup of gas on that fire ;)
There is new database released: all bank transactions in Russia, IV quarter of 2004 (this is update to exist database from April 2003). It costs only $100 (source: http://top.rbc.ru/index.shtml?/news/policy/2005/05/20/20100238_bod.shtml). You can use it with RIPE DB and even see how much certain client pays for connection...

Is it really good for me to look up the database and send that offers to others?
I don't think that it's good for you to be a spammer :)) But, if you wish to send UCE to "target auditory", you can also find this "target auditory" from many over sources then RIPE DB.:) If your customer exists in RIPE DB, or if it has meaningfull PTR records on used addresses,it isn't gives someone advantage in stealing this customer from you.
