I suggest that some security feature be added to the database.
Lets discuss, what measures should be taken to circumvent the situation you describe. I can see the problem from two different point of views: 1) Yours. Then we have to close the database down, to a bare documentation-tool for IP-Nets, accessible only by the registries. 2) Mine. I need the database to track technical problems and people who are able to solve them. (hopefully, this view is shared by most of the people here ;)) The security mechanism, which is in place, is not technical, it is just organisational. There is a copyright on the database. The uses, you describe, are forbidden by this copyright. If someone violates this copyright, at least in Germany there are other measures to forbid such a use of the database.
