[AusNOG] APNIC WHOIS

[Matthew Moyle-Croft]

If it's your details on their APNIC allocations, then, well, it's unclear who's privacy you'd breach.

Having said that, if they're all antsy about it on FB, then consider whether posting it here is actually something you want to do.

(I've had a similar problem, back when I was first doing ISP stuff in the early/mid 1990s, I organised IP space for a lot of different people and small ISPs etc (Hi Steve).  Problem was the same, they never changed it, so even now, I still occasionally get people claiming I was involved somehow in illegal downloading).

Basically they have had my details on their APNIC allocations for the last two years.

I haven't worked there in two years.

I was joking about it on facebook stating that it is scary that it still contains my info (and I posted part of the whois)

However sure enough guns a blazing they came at me demanding I remove it from facebook.

I since have, so it doesn't turn ugly.. but come on, seriously?

That's totally bad advice.

Legal proceedings don't need much to go on and can ruin you financially without being deemed successful. Just post a link to a page that does whois and tell them the type the things in.

Unless they have no money, then they can't really afford lawyers and you can do what you like.

If its available in the public whois database, its public information. You can post it anywhere without fear of *successful* legal proceedings ;)

If they are doing something you think is bad or dishonest, out them :D

Hey Noggers,

this is probably just another silly question, but I am having a dispute with someone over them claiming that whois information is private information about their company and thus I can't post it anywhere I want.
Ie, post the whois with a comment on a public domain / forum.

I claim that this is indeed public information and can be used by anyone?

However I thought before I make a total idiot out of myself I would ask you just incase I am wrong and the details are infact "Confidential"


Cheers!
