What you're forgetting it that RIPE NCC have finite resources.
I agree that RIPE has to limit access to prevent DOS attacks or slowdowns to the system. However, I am nowhere near that limit and they have told me the reason is that I cannot have unrestricted access is because EU privacy laws restrict "unlimited access." They told me I could continue making requests at my current level if I used a "-r" switch but I would not get the abuse contact info. I would run my own mirror except I would not get the abuse contact info. Thank You
