Microsoft cannot stop other people from dropping such announcement
elsewhere on the DFZ, beyond the transit provider they are paying
money to. And that's exactly what the community response should be if
ARIN finds that this transaction is bogus: treat it like unallocated
space that's been announced.

They probably *can* stop you from dropping the announcement, by
moving Windowsupdate or Hotmail or the XBox network into that
address space.

Or more correctly, the constantly ringing phones will make you reverse
your decision...
