<p>You could if you announced the /32 internally and had your own server set up for the IP?<o:p></o:p></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?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Just like ASIC back-pedalled very quickly when it was exposed that they blocked thousands of sites instead of just one.<o:p></o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></p>

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 the orders, and if you are, I'm sure
you are already well aware of what is going on.<br>

After you have been named as a respondent in a Federal Court action, and been presented with an order.<br>

<br>
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>
<br>

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