For those saying "Dutch court" etc please do be careful what you're asking for.
Experience in two decades of anti abuse work says that if a particular form of abuse is allowed and even waved away so there's an enforcement gap, and that form of abuse is used to successfully attack something important and news
making (lets say the European parliament or the defence forces of an EU country). Plausible - people can hijack address space belonging to most anybody.
It would be an interesting sight to see the chairman and exec board of ripe summoned before a parliament or court to explain the situation.

Hi,
72 countries/economies in the service region (and in reality, the world),
so i suspect "common sense" might turn out to be a tricky concept... :-)
But in fact, i think most Internet users would say it's common sense to
have a rule saying that company A using resources held by company B
(intentionally and persistently) is not tolerable.
About effectiveness in reducing abuse: We don't have any data, we would
need to have the rule in place first... :-)
Would you find reasonable to have the rule/policy in place say for 2 or 3
years, and then evaluate its impact/efectiveness...?
Regards,
Carlos
