You're Swedish, not German. So that doesn't really apply to you.
I'm pretty sure that if you just update the WHOIS and say it's static
assignments, that they will in fact remove you. Your network hosts
e-trash anyway (thepiratebay), so I can hardly blame them for assuming
everything on your network is rotten.

Sometimes *valid* laws come in handy. Citing laws that do not, at all,
apply to you, is not handy. In fact if you are citing it in some
circumstances, it is fraud.
