1. No IP addresses are misused, in the sense that should anybody
have a valid claim to use these addresess, nothing I do will
impact their ability to do so. I'm merely transmitting numbers,
there will never on my behalf be an IP packet using these
numbers as source or destination addresses.
2. I live in a civilized society and have repeatedly heard lawyers
from the US deflate once they realized that they didn't known
what the relevant laws said, much less the language to find out.
