These places are useful for finding out who "owns" what block of space,
but the original question was more like "how do I found out all the
address space an organization 'owns'?"  I'm not aware of an easy way to do
that other than walking the entire IPv4 space at the appropriate
registries.

Another possibility is go to a route server, and play around with show ip
bgp regex...and look up the resulting networks to see who "owns" them.
