Joe,
If I was visiting your home and I happened to toss
a rock through your livingroom window on my way out,
would you send me a bill for the repairs? We have
no existing business relationship, no contracts in
place, so would you send me a bill?
Sometimes there are technical solutions to problems
but if my actions increase your costs there is also
a non-technical solution. One could argue that this
whole "CIDR reports" issue should not even be discussed
on this list because it is a non-technical issue. If
someone else is causing your network increased costs,
send them a bill, talk to your lawyer, whatever.
But keep it off NANOG.
