there was certainly a report that ORBS got in trouble with the NZ
courts over AB's response to a court order (reportedly, in response
to an order to remove a group of IP blocks form ORBS, he responded
by publicly announcing the list of IP addresses he was removing,
in a manner likely to get those IP addresses manually added to lots
of other lists, not the sort of move which would be endearing to the
legal system in most countries.)
