You appear to be making a large number of assumptions on limited evidence. In the case I'm familiar with, I can assure you that no laws were being broken (even if all the parties were in the same country, which they weren't). However, this is getting off-topic and I don't want to hijack the thread. The issue of route hijacking is quite serious and it will be interesting to see how this all works out. Regards, -drc
