Assuming the user ignores the invoice (from you or Getty), your remedy would be the same as Getty: Take the user to court. But Getty has copyright law behind them and therefore has a relatively easy win with well understood penalties. A DNS server operator could try small claims could, but would probably need to show actual damages to get a judgement. Getty also has lawyers on payroll who do this stuff all day, every day, and therefore have minimal overhead due to the copy/paste nature of their filings. A random DNS server operator likely does not have a lawyer who can copy/paste this type of claim, the cost of research and filing would probably exceed the (mostly non-existent) cost of just ignoring the unwanted traffic. My money says that win or lose, you've already lost by using the legal system even assuming you manage to collect on a judgement. At the end of the day, I doubt there is much you can do legally, the only real solutions are technical by returning answers that will discourage resolvers from asking as frequently (probably meaning responses carrying a high TTL). _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
