<p>You could if you announced the /32 internally and had your own
server set up for the IP?</p>
<p>I wonder if a ISP (e.g. TPG) could be vindictive enough to make
the court's decision backfire deliberately?<br>
E.g. deliberately block the Cloudflare IP in line with the court's
recommendation, not bending the rules at all but doing it with the
intention that it'll affect other Cloudflare users and cause
headlines against the court decision?</p>
<p>Just like ASIC back-pedalled very quickly when it was exposed
that they blocked thousands of sites instead of just one.</p>
<p>The only thing stopping it is ISP's actually choosing to not
affect other Cloudflare users. The court decision allows for the
worst case.<br>

<div>Furthermore, there is a requirement that blocked

So though IP blocking is mentioned in the court order as
an available option, you cannot in fact comply in full
with the court order via an IP blocking mechanism.<br>

<div>The ISP parties to the judgement have a choice,

Now no one is going to block by URI or IP, when they
can redirect from their DNS server. There is no

From my skim of the lists
the respondents to the
actions all roll up to
Telstra, Optus, Vocus or
TPG). I didn't see any
independent ISPs listed.
So unless you are a group
company of the Big 4 you
won’t be a recipient of

After you have been

It applies to everyone
who is named as a
respondent in a
Federal Court action
under s115a and has
subsequently received
a court order.<br>

The previous answer
isn’t “everyone.” You
bill the claimant. The
payment conditions
will be in the court
order.<br>
<br>

Yes, pointless
exercise. Training
Australians to use
evasion methods; once
they’re doing that,
further enforcement
action is ineffective,
so driving them in
that direction is
practically
indistinguishable from
saying, “Meh, don’t
care anymore.”<br>
<br>
The overwhelming
response I’ve seen to
yesterday’s action is,
“LOL.” I’m encouraged
by that.<br>
