I would doubt the person using a bogon list would be the initiator of a lawsuit.
It would be more plausible that the person using the netspace listed incorrectly
as a bogon would have just cause for filing a lawsuit.
It's annoying enough to chase after all the people who manually configure bogon
networks and forget them in their firewalls. From previous posts, it appears
that this is a case of continued propagation of incorrect information after
being notified of the inaccuracy, and the information is published as being
fact; implying accuracy.
