Seconded. The information part is certainly very useful. But disconnecting the delegation is excessive and may have huge liability consequences as well.
What are the reaction times required from the delegation contacts? Not everyone has a 24x7 NOC.
That's what I am concerned about too. I have got a server hosting a couple of sites (private ones, a few clubs websites or support applications like eGroupWare) and I am the only one operating it. If I am on holiday for 2 weeks that stuff will be offline before I have a chance to react.
Since I have a tor node running it is possible that some malware finds a way to exit through that node. The exit policy is restrictive, but some ports can be abused and even tor itself may be cracked. In such a case nine.ch will geht the complaints and what will they do if they can't reach me in a few hours? To safe themselves from getting their whole network cut off (*.nine.ch) they will have to take my server down immediately. In *less than one day*! That server is also my MX and IMAP-Service so it will cut off the e-mail-addresses nine.ch or switch has stored with my address.
Besides that: How do you make sure (legally) that any of your e-mails really got through? You all should know that SMTP can't guarantee anything! Even if you get the delivery message it might have ended in the junk mail bin without the recipient ever noticing (I just switched my MX for p-guhl.ch for that reason; that Canadian ISP has a too harsh filter which users can't change or remove).
I second all the lagal and political concerns of the others too. We all know that copyright holders (real ones and fakes) are fighting dirty. Most likely you even have malware senders accusing other malware senders to kick them out of business.
