I guess so too, some companies are charging 199 for the database (ip->country and city) and $280 for 1 year of updates. The (free) package i downloaded references the DB and so far its been pretty accurate (only ip-> country though), i also checked it with some known proxies (Korea, Japan, China and the US) and its been spot on so far. I can send it to you if you want, I had to tweak the script a bit due to inconsistant variable names and globals being off on my machine but it works great now. Feel free to reply to me if you want it. Its just under 3mb with the country csv file.
