[tor-relays] IP-Echelon complains about claimed infringement

[NOC]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

On the nodes I run where I managed to get a SWIP-ed IP address I am
already ignoring these automatically generated IP-Echelon abuse
complaints.

For the nodes which do not have SWIP-ed IP addresses (also a node at
myLoc) I reluctantly activated the reduced policy. You can try to
convince the providers to ignore these complaints but torrent abuse
complaints usually make them force you to 'fix the problem'.

Reduced policies make me feel like failing in some way but you are
still contributing bandwidth and helping out the cause ;)
