There are of course multiple sides to that story as well. Like a massive infestation of rock phish domains which, too, were knowingly disregarding local law, and were present in rather massive quantities on the .at ccTLD at that time. http://www.spamhaus.org/organization/statement/7/ --srs On Wednesday, June 26, 2013, Wilfried Woeber wrote:

For those that want to read up on what actually happened on that specific incident in Latvia (July/August 2010), have a read on the following open letter from CERT.lv
And this actually wasn't the only or the first "incident" with Spamhaus. They also tried similer *piep*^Wbullying against NIC.at before.
Which actually has discredited Spamhaus in my personal opinion for sure, for knowingly disregarding local law, but that's slightly OT here - but maybe not...
