Default AIS ship data: everibody have seen this?

The Committee condemned the regrettable publication on the world-wide
web, or elsewhere, of AIS data transmitted by ships and urged Member
Governments, subject to the provisions of their national laws, to
discourage those who make available AIS data to others for publication
on the world-wide web, or elsewhere from doing so.


Ah right, so beyond just the notion of being "shocked, shocked!" to imagine
the BROADCASTED data being published, they're asking their member
governments to punish it's citizenry for making use of it. Data that's
being broadcast on airwaves that belong to the people. Yeesh, talk about
myopic.
