I have some resources listed to me personally, as well as being tech-c for a few older employers, I believe it is due to this that I've increasingly seen brokers try to buy or even rent(!) (a certain indicator of business model originated at a bad idea BoF)  space from me. My private email address is old, well-known to spammers and search engines and also is on Nanog-L which of course makes it impossible to prove that it is due to ripedb harvesting.  

But it really took off when the "last /8 policy" went into effect, and new blocks became impossible to get (except if you use shell companies to start new LIRen at a rate most other people change underwear; not that any member would do that, oh no...), so I think it is a real problem, related to ripedb, and that the NCC should try to identify the guilty and at least name and shame.
