When the Dutch legal system gets so bad that they require disproportional measures to be taken by the RIPE NCC then I think we have bigger issues and should move the RIPE NCC to a different country.
+1. Obviously, and not only due to RPKI, a classic deterring safe-guard is required: a) Define what "disproportional" is -- think long and hard about this and cover all ground with clear definitions -- minimize what's left up to interpretation towards zero. b) Create a stand-by infrastructure which will take over when the current system has failed on a). Then communicate to the power-abusers and enemies of a free and open Internet, resilient against centralized censorship flaws: - "This is what will happen. Your attack will fail. We continuously invest resources into research to furthering our guard against your attacks and it will be hugely disproportionately counter-productive of you to even try it." It doesn't get much more bottom-up than this. :-) Best, Martin
