1. RIRs don't sell address space or make any claim of the merchantability, routability, or functionality of the address space they hand out. 2. RIRs assets do not include the unregistered addresses. They are not transferrable and have no book value.As such, it would be difficult for an RIR customer to successfully sue. Most likely if they explained the problems to the RIR, they could trade for a less
impacted block, but, suing the RIR is unlikely to accomplish much. The RIR afterall, only provided a registration service to show in a public database that as far as the particular RIR was concerned, those integers were unique to the network operator in question. They make no claims about the actionsof others WRT those addresses, they just promise not to issue them to someone
else. Owen--On Tuesday, November 4, 2003 7:10 AM +0200 Hank Nussbacher <hank () att net il> wrote:

I think RIRs have to make a larger effort to protect their assets.Ray Wong rayw () rayw net-Hank
