I personally think that publishing "person" objects does +indeed break the law, NCC Legal clearly disagrees.
It would seem so, and may God bless them for that.
Actually, this is something I'd like to hear the "official" answer to, so let's ask the NCC: Having looked at some resources registered in the ripedb to natural persons and having found that the organisation: objects contain information such as full names, addresses and phone numbers, Assuming that this information is *required* to be there in order to be assigned independent resources, how does the uncontrolled publishing of that data possibly comply with the EU Data Protection Directive and imminent General Data Protection Regulation, especially considering the entirely uncontrolled transfer of such data to non-EU countries (whois lookups!)? IANAL, but to me it looks like a breach of said regulations. rgds, Sascha Luck
