Correct legal stand. Still, if you set something up that will automatically
react on such traffic to port 80 and respond to it by shutting the culprit
down one can always claim that it was in self-defense. Ah, to have the time
and connection to actually do that ;-)
Another option would be to list the server on a webpage for companies that
clearly are ignorant about security. The load of traffic to a common server
for this would probably be too much if many did it, but it would be kind of
nice to clearly indicate which servers are badly maintained.
