Owen Said:
6. ARIN receives a fraud/abuse complaint that A's space is being used
by B.
7. ARIN discovers that A is no longer using the space in accordance
with their RSA
8. ARIN reclaims the space and A and B are left to figure out who owes
what to whom.
You know I love you Owen. :)
9. A sues ARIN for tortuous contract interference.
10. B sues ARIN for same.
11. C and D join the law suit.
12. Judges step in.
13. ARIN gets mired in lawsuit after lawsuit
14. Dogs and cats start living together
