Who cares what the court thinks?  Are you mentioned in the TRO?  If 
not, do a quick look at all CIDRs in ^8001$ and find any sub-CIDRs 
without _8001_ in the path.  Your routers, you decide what to do with 
the prefix.

Of course, if you just happen to uphold INTERNET STANDARDS and only 
accept routes from where they should originate, I'll buy you a drink at 
the next NANOG for being a good netizien. :)

IANAL.  Hell, I'm not even an ISP. :)
