| That would be a no.  It's a fair cop, but society's to blame....

no, the people who misused someone else's owner ID are to blame.
They are flying someone else's colors.  this is an ISO-assigned
FPI, so it should identify ISO as the owner.  If you misuse
the FPI mechanism in such an manner, how can you ask others to
take seriously its utility?
