What do you mean with "purchasing or renting IPv4". Last time that I check it was not possible in the RIR world.
If you're not a legitimate business why would you bother with commonly accepted policy?
If you mean "hijacking" unused IPv4 space, that's another history.
the post fails entirely to cite actual examples, then goes off into the weeds on domain name reputation.

A number of legitimate trading and auction sites have appeared as the IPV4 space became scarcer, and the attackers have gotten involved as well, getting their hands on known good IP blocks and using them for C&C or hosting malware." - - - --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast WWWhatsup NYC - http://wwwhatsup.com http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com VP (Admin) - ISOC-NY - http://isoc-ny.org -------------------------------------------------------------- -
