I would go even further: if there is a dispute over the so-called
ownership of a netblock, there is no party who can guerantee proper
routability and technical responsability so I would probably blackhole
it.

As for the netblock: I just did a quick scan and here is what I found:

64.21.0.0/17       *[BGP/170] 3d 17:52:24, MED 64, localpref 210
                      AS path: 6320 8001 I

64.21.1.0/24       *[BGP/170] 3d 17:52:49, localpref 100
                      AS path: 3356 3561 6347 25702 I

I'm not sure wether or not 64.21.1.0/24 is the disputed netblock, but
this seems the only more specific without AS8001 in the path.
