We were on the receiving end of an attempt to steal a copyright database from our web site last year. It showed up as a million data requests in one weekend. We tracked it back as far as his/her ISP, who were UK-based, and "persuaded" them to finish the job by threatening to bar access from all their customers to our site unless they identified and dealt with the offender. No trouble since, but what would we have done if it wasn't a UK ISP?
