For those that want to read up on what actually happened on that specific incident in Latvia (July/August 2010), have a read on the following open letter from CERT.lv

To maintain some balance on an issue that involved blocking one ISP (not "all of latvia") that was hosting bot spammers for a very long time indeed .. a couple of other articles.

And an assessment of this situation from another organization- Trend Micro, which can, in some cases, be seen as competing with spamhaus (they after all acquired the original MAPS RBL lists)

Quite frankly my sympathies are not with nic.lv in this matter.
