APNIC WHOIS DATABASE ACCEPTABLE USE AGREEMENT

The APNIC Whois Database acceptable use agreement explicitly states the
parameters that copyright extends to:

“Except for Internet operational purposes approved by APNIC, no part of the
APNIC whois data may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or
transmitted, in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, recording, or
otherwise, without prior permission of APNIC on behalf of the copyright holders.
Any use of this material to target advertising or similar activities is
explicitly forbidden and will be prosecuted. APNIC requests to be notified of
any such activities or suspicions thereof. The APNIC whois data may not be
passed on in bulk to any other person or organization unless approved by APNIC.”

Any request to pass on information to any other person or organization will be
evaluated on the statement of purpose outlined by the requestor.

Users will not be able to download the full contents of the database unless the
intended use is for “Internet operational issues”. These words are tightly
defined and would include network trouble-shooting, abuse reporting, and
Internet research and analysis. It would not include compiling marketing lists,
demographic mapping, or any other commercial application.

Each request would be carefully considered in light of the APNIC Whois Database
acceptable use agreement.

Similarly, you cannot use the database to map IP address to geographic location.
APNIC does produce another data source that allows for convenient geographic
mapping. See the APNIC allocation and assignment report.
