Governments will find a way, as an ultima ratio regum they can send tanks or a drone. That is not really what I am worried about.
yep
(Or, I am, but there's nothing I can do about that, except take extra care about what government to elect.)
dunno about where you live. but where i vote the choices are not great.
The abuse that I am trying to address here is that someone (be it an IP troll or just a pissed-off individual with money and lawyers will be able to get a civil court order requiring the NCC to withdraw resources and/or certificates and this court order, wherever it is issued will have legal force.
i agree that this is a threat. and that is what i was trying to say in november '11. i hope that you will find that the operational recommendations in draft-ietf-sidr-origin-ops-20.txt helpful to explain why prudent operation ameliorates this issue. folk should not be dropping announcements which are marked NotFound. randy
