People toss around this word "enforcement" as if we needed a full battalion of United Nations Blue Helments in order to just simply kick AUP violators to the curb. Nothing could be further from the truth. The remedy is as simple as the crime. Don't play by the rules? Then all of the WHOIS records for what used to be "your" ASNs and IP address blocks are revoked and likewise for your reverse DNS delegations. In short, you violate your contract with ARIN and that contract gets revoked, according to the terms of the contract. This is just simply contractual enforcement of a sane (and contractually binding) AUP. The people who view this as somehow either radical or novel are still living in the prior century, and apparently are such luddites that they haven't ever even used a modern online service. e.g. Twitter, Facebook, etc., etc., etc. and thus remain blissfully unaware of the fact that essentially -every- other online service has, and has had, for many years now, an AUP of one kind or another, and one which users violate at the possible cost of losing that service. This isn't rocket surgery. Time for everyone to grow up a little and agree that bad behavior should have consequences. A vote in favor of having no consequences for anything, ever is what I would expect from a class of third graders, not a group of supposedly mature and thoughtful engineers. And no, the Internet community should NOT wait around with its collective hands in its collective pockets, hoping and wishing for law enforcement to come in and clean up the messes that we, the technologists, have created for ourselves through our own short-sightedness and bad designs. It's our mess, and we should clean it up ourselves, not wait for mommy to come in and change our diapers for us.
