For instance, if what you say were true, all an ISP would have to do in

      Exactly. If they did that, a court would likely enjoin them from making any
action to interfere with the customer's use of those IP addresses. A court
would likely find the contract binding upon the parties that entered into
it.

there's a word for selling something that you don't own.
