Does having your own space matter or is it just how its allocated at ARIN? My address space is re-allocated (as should any space greater than /29 and for ISPs) and my company's information is in ARIN, but I still get notices form my upstream. Doesn't make sense.

We used to get them from AT&T before we got our own IP block but only get them from HBO, Starz, Warner Bros etc now. Haven’t ever gotten one from Cogent but haven’t had that circuit for even a year yet either. I understand the logic behind telling them that you’ll research it for a fee but typically the ones that we get never ask for any response. They just ask that you notify the offending party and make it stop. We never reply to them but do check the IP address. If it’s a NATed address we note it on the ticket and close it. If it’s a public IP we send the customer a notice that there was illegal activity detected on their connection. That usually stops the activity right away. The last one that I sent out, the customer replied thanking us for letting her know. Said she told her neighbors that they couldn’t do that anymore because she “didn’t want to lose her Netflix over somebody doing something illegal.” I think we were about halfway through the month and they had transferred about 250Gb at that point. Usage dropped to normal Netflix user amounts after that. James Howard LiteWire Internet Services, Inc.

The upstream providers are getting more and pushy that we need to give them (the backbone provider) a resolution. If not they say it violates the Terms of Service. Cogent is the worst about this. We have actually had them turn us off because we did not answer complaints.

I guess if any of them do, I’ll cross that bridge when it happens. I think most of it is vaporware. Has anyone out here ever actually had a law suit or cops show up over one of these?
