Hi Robert,

It may seem simple but it only seems that way. The legacy registrants
(pre-arin registrants) in particular were not necessarily legal
entities. Like trademarks with a TM instead of a Circle-R, they were
nothing more than unverified names asserted by the individuals
requesting IP addresses. In some cases they were obviously
corporations but in many others there are only ambiguous forensics to
examine.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
