Dear Sabri Berisha, This happened because your client only yesterday made about 15000 queries for various IP numbers collecting contact information. This resulted in automatic blocking of that client. Please contact the Database Administration ripe-dbm@ripe.net to discuss your application.

It seems that this is not the only change in the database. Doing a whois on 193.109.122.2 gives:
(inetnum) (route)
%ERROR:202: access control limit reached % % You have reached the limit of returned contact information objects. % This connection will be terminated now. % Continued attempts to return excessive amounts of contact % information will result in permanent denial of service. % Please do not try to use CONTACT information in % the RIPE database for non-operational purposes. % Refer to http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/pub-services/db/copyright.html % for more information.
instead of the person/role objects.
Why is this?
